In Java, you can use the else if<\/code> statement to specify a new condition if the first condition is false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Else If Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use the else if<\/code> statement to define a new condition to test when the initial condition in the if<\/code> statement is not met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syntax<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
if (condition1) {\n  \/\/ block of code to be executed if condition1 is true\n} else if (condition2) {\n  \/\/ block of code to be executed if condition1 is false and condition2 is true\n} else {\n  \/\/ block of code to be executed if both condition1 and condition2 are false\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example: Basic Else If Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the example below, we test if the time is less than 10. If the condition is true, it prints “Good morning.” If the first condition is false, it checks if time is less than 18. If this condition is true, it prints “Good day.” Otherwise, it prints “Good evening.”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/\/ Example\nint time = 22;\nif (time < 10) {\n  System.out.println("Good morning.");\n} else if (time < 18) {\n  System.out.println("Good day.");\n} else {\n  System.out.println("Good evening.");\n}\n\/\/ Outputs "Good evening."<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the example above, time<\/code> is 22, which is greater than 10, so the first condition time < 10<\/code> is false. The next condition time < 18<\/code> is also false, so the program moves to the else<\/code> block and prints “Good evening.” If time<\/code> were 14, the program would print “Good day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example: Testing Variables with Vehicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let’s apply the concept of vehicles to an else if<\/code> statement example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/\/ Example\nint carSpeed = 120;\nint speedLimit = 70;\nif (carSpeed <= speedLimit) {\n  System.out.println("The car is within the speed limit.");\n} else if (carSpeed <= (speedLimit + 20)) {\n  System.out.println("The car is slightly over the speed limit.");\n} else {\n  System.out.println("The car is significantly over the speed limit.");\n}\n\/\/ Outputs "The car is significantly over the speed limit."<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
In this example, we use two variables, carSpeed<\/code> and speedLimit<\/code>, to test different conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • If carSpeed<\/code> is within the speed limit, it prints “The car is within the speed limit.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If carSpeed<\/code> is slightly over the speed limit (by 20 units), it prints “The car is slightly over the speed limit.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If neither condition is true, it prints “The car is significantly over the speed limit.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
