// creating scanner object for taking input

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

// taking user input

System.out.print("Enter your party affiliation: ");

String party_name = scan.next();

// if-then-else cascading - what it means basically is

// else part of each if is nested until all conditions are checked

if(party_name.equalsIgnoreCase("Republican")){

System.out.println("Elephant");

}

else{

if(party_name.equalsIgnoreCase("Independent")){

System.out.println("Eagle");
