What is 'elif' and when do I use it?

elif is short for 'else if'. It’s like saying: "If I have 500 Naira, I'll buy suya. Else if I have 200, I'll buy chin-chin. Otherwise, I'll just drink water."

It allows you to check many different conditions one after the other. Python will stop as soon as it finds one that is true. It’s very efficient.
