Sometimes, you have to make decisions based on some condition

likes_ice_cream = True

if likes_ice_cream:

    print("I like ice cream")

else:

    print("I don't like ice cream")

Sometimes, you like one flavour more than the other

ice_cream_flavour = "vanilla"

if ice_cream_flavour == "vanilla":

    print("I would like two scoops, please")

elif ice_cream_flavour == "chocolate":

    print("One scoop, please")

else:

    print("None for me, thank you")

keyword elif allows you to specify further conditions and can be used multiple times

You can also use the match-case matching

match ice_cream_flavour:

    case "vanilla":

        print("I would like two scoops, please")

    case "chocolate":

        print("One scoop, please")

    case _:

        print("None for me, thank you")

the last case, _, is the default case, when there is no other match
