Many Paths

Hoppy comes to a three-way intersection. Not everything is just "this or that". Sometimes there are many options.

Python uses elif (short for "else if") to handle multiple choices.

The Elif Spell

color = "red"

if color == "blue":
  print("Sky")
elif color == "green":
  print("Grass")
elif color == "red":
  print("Fire")
else:
  print("Unknown color")

Python checks them one by one. As soon as it finds a match, it stops checking the rest.

Your Mission

The Sign

Create a variable path and set it to "mountain".

Forest Path

Check if path is "forest". If so, print "Trees".

Mountain Path

Use elif to check if path is "mountain". If so, print "Rocks".

Lost

Use else to print "Lost" if neither matches.

Order matters! Python takes the first True path it finds.

score = 95

if score > 90:
  print("A")
elif score > 80:
  print("B")
# If we swapped these, 95 would print "B" if we checked > 80 first!
