Can you have 2 Elif's in a row?

Hi Eric Huang,

You can have multiple elif's in a row. The issue you're running into is one of logic though...

name = input("Please enter your name: ") 
number = int(input("Please enter a number: ")) 
print(name) 
print(number) 
if number %3 == 0: 
    print("this is a fizz number") 
elif number %5 == 0: 
    print("this is a buzz number") 
elif (number %5 == 0) and (number %3 == 0): 
    print("this is a fizzbuzz number") 
else: print("this is neither a fizz number, or a buzz number")

The reason "this is a fizzbuzz number" never prints is because of the order in which it comes. The thing about if...elif...else conditions is, if one condition is true, then the other conditions aren't even evaluated. This is where the logic error comes in. In order for a number to be a fizzbuzz number, it has to be divisible by both 3 and 5. As such, we take a number like 15. And we say, "Are you divisible by 3?" The answer is "Yes", and so "This is a buzz number" is printed to the console immediately, and the chain of if...elif...else statements is broken. The interpreter for python never even tests if it's divisible by both.

So... in order to check if a number is a fizzbuzz number, you need to either move the test for fizzbuzz to be the first one evaluated, or you need to add more specificity to the other tests (i.e. is number divisible by three while not being divisible by five).
