/// "else if" is a conditional that applies and runs a statement only if the first conditional is not true and its own conditional is true. "else" is a function that runs a statement if the previous conditional(s) is/are untrue /// 
        
/// removing the "else" in front of the "else if" on line 13 made it so that the else line on line 17 was displayed because the if statement was not true. The else if made it so that line is only displayed if the conditional above is untrue, and an else statement after an else if statement is only displayed if the if statement and the else if statement are untrue.///
