Multiple elif Blocks
You can also have more than one elif block in your program. For instance,
if  the  manager  of  the  cinema  decides  to  implement  special  discounts  for
workers,  this  will  require  additional,  conditional  tests  to  the  program  to
ascertain  whether  the  person  in  question  is  qualified  for  such  a  discount.
Assuming  those  above  55  years  will  pay  70%  of  the  initial  cost  of  each
ticket. Then the program code will be as follows:
person_age = 13
if person_age < 5:
cost = 0
elif person_age < 17:
cost =30
elif person_age < 55
cost = 50
else:
cost = 35
print(f “Your ticket cost is ${cost}.”)
The cost is identical to our previous example; however, the only including
is the “elif person_age < 55” and is respective else condition. This second
elif block checks if the person’s age is less than 55 before assigning them
the cost of the ticket for $50. However, the statement after the else needs to
be changed. In this situation, it is applicable if the person’s age is above 55
years, which is this situation fulfills the condition we want.
The “else” statement isn’t compulsory because you can omit it and use the
elif statement instead. At times, it is better to use additional elif statements
to capture specific interests. Let us see how to implement it without using
the else statement.
person_age = 13

if person_age < 5:
cost = 0
elif person_age < 17:
cost =30
elif person_age < 55:
cost = 50
elif person_age >= 55:
cost = 35
print(f “Your ticket cost is ${cost}.”)
The additional elif statement helps to assign the ticket cost of “$30” to those
above  30  years.  This  format  is  a  bit  clearer  when  compared  with  the  else
block.
