Multi-Way If Statements

• Multiple Selectors can appear as direct extensions to two-way selectors, using else-if clauses (ALGOL 68, FORTRAN 77, Modula-2, Ada)

• Ada:

      if ... then
          ...
      elsif ... then
          ...
      elsif ... then
          ...
      else ...
      end if
  

• Far more readable than deeply nested if's

• Allows a boolean gate on every selectable group
