What's the difference between elseif and else if in Lua?

What's the difference between elseif and else if in Lua? I don't know if they're the same but shorter.

x= 100
y= 100

if x > 90 then
  ...
else if y > 110 then
  ...
else
  ...
end
end

if x > 90 then
  ...
elseif y > 110 then
  ...
else
  ...
end

There is no else if in Lua.

The proper syntax is elseif.

Let's fix your intedation:

if x > 90 then
  ...
else
  if y > 110 then
    ...
  else
    ...
  end
end

It's just a bit more complicated. This only makes sense if you need more else blocks as well. If there is only one else block for all conditions then elseif is sufficient.
