if/else and if/elseif

Question

If I have a statement block like this:

if (/*condition here*/){ }
else{ }

or like this:

if (/*condition here*/)
else if (/         


        

Answer 1

Situation a:

if( condition )
{
}
else
{
}

When the condition in the above statement is false, then the statements in the else block will always be executed.

Situation b:

if( condition )
{
}
else if( condition2 )
{
}
else
{
}

When 'condition' is false, then the statements in the else if block will only be executed when condition2 is true. The statements in the else block will be executed when condition2 is false.
