We can use 'elif' command. For example.. name=input('What is your name? ') if(name=="Himanshu"): print(name+" is my brother") elif(name=="Nisha"): print(name+" is my sister") else: print("I don't know "+name)

After the first 'if' statement, write 'elif' on a new line and enter your information. 'elif' comes from a contraction of the words 'else' and 'if' and can be thought of a middle ground between just 'if' and 'else.'

Example:

name = input("What is your name? ")

if name == 'Rebecca':

print("Hello " + name)

elif name == 'Dean':

print(name + " is my brother's name.")

elif name == 'Ruth':

print("My mom's name is " + name + ".")

else:

print(name + " is not recognized.")
