# =============================================================================
# nếukhôngthì — Adds an else-if branch after a previous nếu branch.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Else-if chains — `nếukhôngthì <condition> { body }` adds intermediate conditional
#     branches between `nếu` and `khác`
#   • First match wins: evaluation stops at the first `nếu` or `nếukhôngthì` whose
#     condition is `đúng`
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • TODO: forgetting that `nếukhôngthì` blocks are skipped once a preceding branch
#     matches

# nếukhôngthì <cond> { }
# khác { }
#
# GRAMMAR:
#   ifStmt :← 'nếu' expr block ('nếukhôngthì' expr block)* ('khác' block)?
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   Afternoon (hour=14 matches first nếukhôngthì branch).

    const int hour ← 14

    elif hour ≺ 18 {

Expected output:

# =============================================================================
# nếukhôngthì — Adds an else-if branch after a previous nếu branch.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Standalone else-if — `nếukhôngthì` provides an intermediate conditional branch
#     evaluated only when the preceding `nếu` condition was `sai`
#   • Chains: `nếu { } nếukhôngthì { } khác { }` for multi-way branching
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Writing `khác nếu` instead of the canonical `nếukhôngthì` for else-if branches.
