title: How to continue from the 'if' statement to the 'elif' in Python?
body: <p>How does one continue from the <code>if</code> statement to the <code>elif</code>?  I would like the end result to be 'mybadgr' but instead it keeps printing out 'badgr'.</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = "Badger"
  vowels = 'AEIOUaeiou'
  flicker = len(a)
  if a[flicker - 2] in vowels and a[flicker -1] in'r':
      final = str(a[:flicker-2])+'r'
      flicker = len(str(final))
      #continue the if to elif
  elif flicker &lt; 6:
      final = 'My'+final
  </code></pre>
