Question

Explain if-else-if construct with an example.

Answer 1

On occasions, we might want to offer a new condition to test and then run a different block of code if the given condition turns out to be false. In this case, if () - else-if is helpful. In the example below, one of the conditions that results in true affects the student's final grade that is printed. 

Example:

if (marks >= 75)
System.out. println("Distinction"); 
else if (marks >= 60) 
System.out.println("First Division");
else if (marks >= 50) 
System.out.println("Second Division");
else
System.out.println("Third Division");
