On running the above program, we get the following output:
The if…elif…else Ladder
The if…elif…else ladder is another type of if statement. It helps us to test multiple conditions and
follows a top-down approach. In this, as soon as the condition of the if evaluates to be true, the
indented block associated with that ‘if’ is executed, and the rest of the ladder is avoided. If none of the
conditions evaluates to true, then the final else statement gets executed.
The syntax of if...elif...else ladder is shown below:
Syntax:
if (Test Expressions_1):
Indented block 1
True
elif (Test Expression_2): Test Expression 1 Statement 1
Indented block 2
False
elif (Test Expression_3):
Indented block 3 True
Test Expression 2 Statement 2
else:
Indented block False
True
Test Expression 3 Statement 3
False Body of else
