What is else?

The else keyword lets you run code when the if condition is false.

Example:

age = 16
if age >= 18:    
	print("Access granted")
else:    
	print("Access denied")

In this example, since age is less than 18, Python runs the else block instead.

What is elif?

elif stands for "else if", and it lets you check multiple conditions.

Example:

score = 75
if score >= 90:    
	print("Excellent")
elif score >= 70:    
	print("Good")
else:    
	print("Keep trying")

Python checks each condition from top to bottom and runs the first one that is true.
