LEARN Theory for this problem
+

An `if` / `else if` / `else` chain checks alternatives from top to bottom. Put more specific or higher-priority conditions first.

Connection to “Traffic Light”: here, branching selects a case using a Boolean condition; test order matters when cases overlap.

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    long long n;
    cin >> n;
    if (n == 1) cout << "red";
    else if (n == 2) cout << "yellow";
    else cout << "green";
    cout << '\n';
    return 0;
