ELSIF/ELSEIF statement

extended-if-statement = IF expression THEN [ block ]
{ ELSEIF expression THEN [ block ] }
[ ELSE block ] .

ELSIF is implemented in some Pascal-Like languages such as MODULA or OBERON.

It is implemented in PMP as an "extended syntax". If the "Extended syntax" project's option is not active it will produce a compilation error.

To normalize with the $ELSIF/$ELSEIF conditional compilation directives, ELSIF/ELSEIF are true synonyms in PMP.

The number of ELSEIF statements is not limited.

The same behaviors as for the IF statement apply;

• if one of the IF or ELSEIF <expression> is true, its <block> is executed and the ELSE <block> is not executed;
• else if none of the IF or ELSEIF <expression> is true, the ELSE <block> is executed.
