## Multiple Alternatives

- In some cases, the order of the tests is important.
- Example: A program that displays a description of the likely impact of an earthquake based on its magnitude on the Richter scale.
- Note that the order of the tests ensures that the right results are printed (see following code).
- Note that the if/else/else structure ensure the alternatives are exclusive. Independent if statements may cause a single input to print several messages.
