Multiple Alternatives

• By using collections of if/else statements, a program can distinguish between multiple alternatives.
• Example: The user enters the name of a coin, and the program returns the value.
• This program has five alternatives to choose from:
  • "penny"
  • "nickel"
  • "dime"
  • "quarter"
  • erroneous input
• The order that the alternatives are checked is unimportant
