Conditional Statement "if and elif" multiple if statements

[lsf22]

I feel like I'm missing an understanding about the elif statement.
For example in one of my flag requirements for scenes, I use multiple "if" statements because I only want that scene to activate when the requirements are met and not have the scene triggered otherwise. For example I have the use of multiple "if" statements, but for some reason it seems like I may be misunderstanding "if" and "elif".

This is just a made up example:

Code: Select all

    if Day1 == True:
        jump Monday
    if Day2 == True:
        jump Tuesday
    if Day3 == True:
        jump Wednesday
    if Day4 == True:
        jump Thursday
    if Day5 == True:
        jump Friday
    if Day6 == True:
        jump Saturday
    if Day7 == True:
        jump Sunday

Would it be correct to use that or to only have the first item using the "if" statement and the rest using "elif"?

It is correct to use only "if" statements but :

When using "elif", if one condition is satisfied, it would not check the other conditions.

When using "if", all conditions are tested one by one, which can represent a significant performance overhead in a tight loop.
Multiple ifs should be used when it is possible for several ifs to be true simultaneously.
