Idiom #131 Successive conditions

Execute f1 if condition c1 is true, or else f2 if condition c2 is true, or else f3 if condition c3 is true.
Don't evaluate a condition when a previous condition was true.

if c1: f1()
elif c2: f2()
elif c3: f3()
if c1:
    f1()
elif c2:
    f2()
elif c3:
    f3()
f1() if c1 else f2() if c2 else f3() if c3 else None

This is called a conditional expression/ternary operator
if c1 then
    f1;
elsif c2 then
    f2;
elsif c3 then
    f3;
end if;

assume that f, g, and h are procedure and that a and b are Boolean
