it exits, ignoring any further conditions.

in basic logic it actually looks like this:
if(type == computer)
{
do the computer stuff
}
else
{
if(type == test)
{
do the test stuff
}
else
{
if(total > limit)
{
go somewhere total different
}
}
}
you can just shorthand it to:
if(type == computer)
{
do the computer stuff
}
else if(type == test)
{
do the test stuff
}
else if(total > limit)
{
go somewhere total different
}
it makes more sense in the first one, why it works that way, right?
good luck,
