It's not "else if" but "else" and "if"

Depending on the language, there is also an else if, but what is called "else if" is an ultra-small story that the processing to be executed at the time of else is if.

Even though I wrote in the coding standard that "if and else must be enclosed in {}", else and if are also included in the coding standard ...

if (/*conditions*/) {
  //Abbreviation
} else if (/*conditions*/) {
  //Abbreviation
}

If it is written like this, I think "I don't know this guy".
