title: Continue to elif after a nested if-statement?
body: <p>If the nested if-statement doesn't fulfill a condition, how do I continue on to the outer if? Eg. I have this (very impractical) example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = 2
  
  if( a &gt; 1 ):
      if( a == 3 ):
          print "yes"
  elif( a == 2 ):
      print "yes"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want a == 2 to be checked next. How would I do this?</p>
  
  <p>(I have multiple conditions in that nested if that I need to check so I'd rather not have a huge string of and/or statements in that one outer-if. I also have more than one elif statement so I don't want to mash all the elifs together under that nested one.)</p>
  
  <p>A deeper example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>b = 8
  
  if( a &gt; 1 ):
      if( b == 3 ):
          doSomething()
      elif( b == 4 ):
          doSomethingElse()
      elif( b == 5 ):
          more()
  elif( -1 &lt;= a &lt;= 1 ):
      asd()
  elif( a &lt; -1 ):
      if( b == 7 ):
          asdfasdf()
      elif( b == 8 ):
          asasdf()
  </code></pre>
