## 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
