	If you have multiple conditions and scenerios, then can use `elif` statement with `if` and `else` statements.

	```bash
	#!/bin/bash

	read -p "Enter a number: " num

	if [[ $num -gt 0 ]] ; then
	echo "The number is positive"
	elif [[ $num -lt 0 ]] ; then
	echo "The number is negative"
	else
	echo "The number is 0"
	fi
	```

		## Switch case statements

		As in other programming languages, you can use a `case` statement to simplify complex conditionals when there are multiple different choices. So rather than using a few `if`, and `if-else` statements, you could use a single `case` statement.
