Else can be used if you are comparing two things..
Elif can be if you compare more than two things..
#1 eg else...
a=1
b=2
if a>b:
print ("false")
else:
print ("true)
#2 eg elif...
a=1
b=2
c=3
if a>b:
print ("false")
elif a>c:
print ("false")
else:
print ("true")
+ 3
In Python, else and elif are conditional statements that are used to control the flow of a program.
else is used in conjunction with if statements. It specifies a block of code that will be executed only if the if condition is False. For example:
if condition:
# code to be executed if condition is True
else:
# code to be executed if condition is False
elif, on the other hand, is short for "else if". It is used to specify additional conditions that are checked only if the previous if or elif condition was False. For example:
if condition1:
# code to be executed if condition1 is True
elif condition2:
# code to be executed if condition1 is False and condition2 is True
else:
# code to be executed if both condition1 and condition2 are False
In the above code, the elif statement checks the condition2 only if the if condition (condition1) is False. If condition2 is True, the code in the elif block will be executed. If condition2 is False, the code in the else block will be executed.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
