Else-If Statements
- use the usage of conditional statements that want our program to determine something from 2 or more things
- symbols used such as "&" which makes bith things to be true in order to run, "||" which only one or the other has to be true to run, or "!" which reverses the condition that has to be falsed
- runs faster
- once one statement is deemed true it stops running
