This #pragma directive allows a directive to be defined. Its effects are implementation-defined. If the pragma is not supported, then it is ignored.

Syntax:

#pragma directive

#elif directive creates conditional compiling parameters that control the compiling of the source code. Syntax:

#if constant_expression
#elif constant_expression
#endif

#pragma C standard for providing additional information to the compiler #elif is else if precompiler directive such as

 #if X == 1
     ...
 #elif X == 2
     ...
 #else 
    ....
 #endif
