Python,为什么要使用elif关键字? [关闭]

I just started Python programming, and I'm wondering about the elif keyword.

Other programming languages I've used before use else if. Does anyone have an idea why the Python developers added the additional elif keyword?

为什么不:

if a:
    print("a")
else if b:
    print("b")
else:
    print("c")

最佳答案

Most likely it's syntactic sugar. Like the Wend of Visual Basic.
