if or else if - ||123|| - 18.07.2011

I've seen many people use if once again after if, for eg:

pawn Код:

if(blah == 6)
{
    //..........
}
if(blah == 7)
{
   //sssssss
}

But I thought it was like this:

pawn Код:

if(blah == 6)
{
    //..........
}
else if(blah == 7)
{
   //sssssss
}

What is the difference between these two, please if someone would explain.

There is no difference.

It's like this:

PHP код:



else if

isn't really meant to be used. Your first example is good. If you have 7 values for one variable and you want for each to do different thing you will use on each

PHP код:

if

but if you want that 6 have same function and one different you will use for one

PHP код:

if

and for the rest

PHP код:



else

. So else is for all values that weren't previously used in if.

Wrong. If it wasn't meant to be used, why is it in C, C#, C++, PHP, Pawn, VB Legacy, .Net, ASP, and all the rest of the C based programming languages? It is meant to be used.

Wrong. There is a big difference.

If statements...

Код:

if(blah == 6)
{
    //..........
}
if(blah == 7)
{
   //sssssss
}

...are all checked in the event of it being true. So if blah is 6, it will still check if its 7.

If Else Statements...

Код:

if(blah == 6)
{
    //..........
}
else if(blah == 7)
{
   //sssssss
}

...will check if its 6. If it is, it doesn't check if its 7. It will only check if its 7, when blah is not 6.. and it continues.
