set of actions to be executed if a condition is false.
b. If statement can have anunlimited number of ElseIf clauses because every new part of elseif is
described as new if statement on else

ElseIf i = 1 Then
MsgBox ("i=1")
ElseIf i = 2 Then
MsgBox ("i=2")
End If

If strShiftCode = "1" Then
sngShiftRate = sngHourlyRate
Else
If strShiftCode = "2" Then
sngShiftRate = sngHourlyRate * 1.1
ElseIf strShiftCode = "3" Then
sngShiftRate = sngHourlyRate * 1.15
