- Why only the first true branch gets executed
- Different forms of if statements (if only, if/else, if/else if/else)
- How to write nested if statements
- Xcode's auto-indent shortcut (Control + I)
- A hands-on challenge: build a temperature checker
- Whether you're just getting started or brushing up on the basics, this lesson makes Swift conditionals easy to understand with clear examples and a coding challenge to test your skills.

A beginner Swift tutorial covering if, else if, and else statements. Explains how conditional branches work, how Swift evaluates conditions top-to-bottom and skips remaining branches once a true condition is found, and demonstrates various forms including standalone if, if-else, multiple else-if chains, and nested if statements. Includes a practical temperature-classification coding challenge and tips for using Xcode's auto-indent feature.
