the elif conditional es a combination of the else and if conditionals, it needs a to fulfill a conition like the if conditional but it will be ignored if the condition above is fulfilled like an else conditional.
if we had this conditionals:
if x != 0:
print(“it’s not a 0”)
if x > 0:
print(“more than 0”)
if x < 100:
print(“less than 100”)
and we used 50 as x, the program will print everything since 50 meets each condition but if we change any of the if conditionals after the first to elif the program would ignore them since the first will be true. elif is to stick two statements as one.
