Using else if multiple times

[plp384]

I had a programming exercise to do that seemed easy at the surface but hard to write. Is it normal to use else if, say 13 times in main? Why I ask is because
I am having to input 2 characters and evaluate both characters against a combination of string arrays and integers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like a loop or switch might work better, but it is hard to say from your description.

Thanks for the reply. I will look into loop. I have used switch but my understanding is that it does not work with strings.

No, switch does not work with string, but it does work with char.

it is possible to write else if 13 times, but in that situation you should already use looping
