For example, an :ref:`analog input -<lang-analogread>` could be tested, with one action taken if the -input was less than 500, and another action taken if the input was 500 -or greater. The code would look like this:: - - if (pinFiveInput < 500) { - // action A - } else { - // action B - } - -``else`` can precede another ``if`` test, so that multiple, mutually -exclusive tests can be run at the same time. - -Each test will proceed to the next one until a true test is -encountered. When a true test is found, its associated block of code -is run, and the program then skips to the line following the entire -if/else construction. If no test proves to be true, the default -``else`` block is executed, if one is present, and sets the default -behavior. - - -Note that an ``else if`` block may be used with or without a -terminating ``else`` block, and vice-versa.
