Again, we create a variable named sitcom and assign it a value. Then we run through a series of statements, asking if the value of sitcom is equal to Alf; if it is, the program creates a pop-up box that says "Don't eat my cat!" Otherwise it moves on to the next statement and asks, is the value equal to Three's Company? If so, it creates a pop-up that says "Larry said to meet him at the Blue Oyster." It continues on in this manner until it finds a match. Finally at the end, if no match is found, it creates a pop-up box that says: "Hey turn the tv, Alf is on!"
However, since it does find a match, the program shows the following message in a pop-up box and exits out of the If statement:
Prepare for a crash landing
