to avoid the nested if problem.
Altough you should avoid that.

Yep. Depends on the language. Sometimes it's "else if", in another language it's "elseif", and then there's "elsif" and "elif".
Still waiting for "eif" though.

Wrote a bash script the other day. Bash uses 'elif' as well, but the best bit was closing the if with 'fi'

Wait till you get to the switch case statement 😉

@T99- @Schnouki You could always use:

predicate1 ? function1() :
( predicate2 && function2() )
