Here is a simple example in both Python and Java.

</p>

<code>

grade = int(input('enter a grade'))

if grade &lt; 60:

print('A')

</code> <tests> </tests>

</program>

<p>

In Java, we have a couple of ways to write this.

</p>

<code>

public class ElseIf {

public static void main(String args[]) {

}

</code> <tests> </tests>

</program>

<p>

We can get even closer to the <c>elif</c> statement by taking advantage of the Java rule that a single statement does not need to be enclosed in curly braces. Since the <c>if</c> is the only statement used in each <c>else</c> block, we can get away with the following.

</p>

<code>

public class ElseIf {

public static void main(String args[]) {

}

</code> <tests> </tests>

</program>
