 Let's have a look at this very simple if else if else end branching Also reads almost just like English. So I'm gonna create this computer variable. I'm gonna call it value inside of them I'm gonna put an integer value and that being 10 So I write this if statement The first line is gonna evaluate something if the value is less than 10 Print this it is less than 10 Which of course it isn't and if it returns a false it jumps to the next line else if and Another else if you can nest many else ifs in here But it's gonna go down one by one by one until it finds something that's true if it does not find anything That's true. So they tend is not less than 10 It skips all the lines of code until it gets to the next else if If that one was true, it would actually do whatever is written after the else if and jump all the way to the end If it's false and indeed 10 is not more than 10 It just skips that line all together and goes to the next else if Etc etc etc so you can nest many else ifs in here and Then if all else fails you can always have this last else and have it do something just in case All of these that first if and all the subsequent else ifs of there Untrue they all return a false. You can always have this last escape which is just an else and it'll print out Once one of them are true though. It's just gonna execute That and then jump out anyway. So in this instance, they're all gonna return false so it's going to just jump to this very last one that says the value is 10 and Print that out print that as a line out to the screen If one of them was true though If any one of these returned a true it would execute that line of code in between the statements and then Jump outside to this end. It won't carry on and it won't do the else either It's just looking for the very first true statement that it finds Executes that line of code if it finds nothing It's gonna execute whatever is in the else statement once again You can also nest things within in each other, but this continued iterative use of else ifs can Can be pretty clear and make things quite easy and you can do quite a bit with it
