The if...elif condition

The if...elif ladder, popularly known as if...else if in other programming languages such as C, C ++, and Java, has the same function in Python. An if condition let's us specify a condition alongside the else part of the code. Only if the condition is true is the section proceeding the conditional statement executed:

a=44
b=66
if a > b:
    print("a is Greater") 
elif b > a:
    print("B is either Greater or Equal")
else:
    print("A and B are equal")
print("End")

It must be noted that the third else in the preceding code snippet is optional. Even if we don't specify it, the code works just fine:

Let's create a file named if_el_if.py, and see how this can be used:
