""" ================================================================================ File: 02_elif.py Topic: Multiple Conditions with elif ================================================================================ This file demonstrates how to handle multiple conditions using 'elif' (else if). When you have more than two possible outcomes, elif allows you to check multiple conditions in sequence. Key Concepts: - elif chains for multiple conditions - Order matters - first True condition wins - Default case with else ================================================================================ """ # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1.
