Multiple choices

When you have more than two possibilities, use elif (short for else-if) to check additional conditions. Python checks them in order and runs the first one that is True.

How it reads

• if hour < 12: is checked first
• elif hour < 18: is checked only if the first condition was False
• else: runs if none of the conditions above were True

Cloud tip: You can have as many elif blocks as you need, but you can only have one if at the start and one else at the end.
