    /// 1. Else if is determining whether another condition besides the original if statement (the opposite) is true. Else runs a certain line or lines of code on the condition that none of the preceeding if or else if statements are true.
    /// 2. Removing the else part at the beginning of one of the else if statements causes both the if and else lines of code to run. this might be because getting rid of the else in the else if means that the following else is dependent only on the statement directly preceeding it, rather than both of the preceeding statements.
