The else if Statement
Use the else if statement to specify a new condition if the first condition is false.
Syntax
if (condition1
) {
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2
) {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}
Example
int time = 22;
if (time < 10) {
System.out.println("Good morning.");
} else if (time < 18) {
System.out.println("Good day.");
} else {
System.out.println("Good evening.");
}
// Outputs "Good evening."
