Nesting If...Else Statements

If you nest one If...Else statement inside another, you'll have to use ElseIf to start the nested statement. Consider the code in Listing 8.2.

Code Listing 8.2. Combining Nested If...Else Statements with ElseIf
If (intHours <= 40) Then
   curOverTime = 0.0
'Now test for hours between 40 and 50
'and pay time and a half
ElseIf (intHours <= 50) Then
      curOverTime = (intHours - 40) * 1.5 * sngRate
    Else
      'Must pay double time over 50 and
      'time and a half for the hours between
      '40 and 50
      curOverTime = ((intHours - 50) * 2 + (10 * 1.5)) * sngRate

End If

The ElseIf statement in the fifth line starts a new If...Else block of code. If the value of intHours is not 40 or less in the first line, it must be more than 40. Therefore, ...
