Support for conditionals like "else if" and "else"

[Aarthi-V]

I tried the following in the IDE :
if 2 = 2 : print yes
else print no
And the output was :
yes
no
I think there should be an error message displayed for the use of "else".

Currently the code supports only "if" but not "else if" or "else". I think we should add these functionalities as well.

I just had a little question about the file gbsymbols/symbols.py. I get that in this file you defined all the keywords and the symbols for the language( in a key-value pair ), but why do so in a class? couldn't the same thing be done with a dictionary? Just wanted to know if there any specific reasons on why the former is more efficient/preferred than the later. Thanks

@anirudnits dot notation better

Does nested if-elif-else conditionals make sense for greenBerry? I am asking because its a one-sentence language and if nested conditionals are allowed then it may become messy.
I am trying to implement the simple if-elif-else without considering nesting. do I need to take that into account? Thanks

@anirudnits try a without nesting

@Abdur-rahmaanJ I am sort of done with integrating elif and else statements. I have implemented the following in this way:
ELIF: elif 2 = 3: print elif works
ELSE: else print else also works

Notice that I intentionally left out the colon for the else statement. I just thought that would be more intuitive. Any thoughts?

@anirudnits works fine!
