how to use elseif function properly?

Elseif can be used to compare two values without having to make multiple if statements. For example I want to compare L to 5 different values. It would be inefficient to use 5 if then statements. We would use elseif so if one if fails, there are others to go off of.
local L = math.random(5) --Picks a random number 1-5
if L == 1 then
print'Potato'
elseif L == 2 then
print'Pickle'
elseif L == 3 then
print'Tomato'
elseif L == 4 then
print'Lettuce'
elseif L == 5 then
print'Chocolate'
else
print'If the script prints this, then something went wrong.'
end
So what the script will do is compare L to 1. If it is not true, then it will go on to the elseif and compare it to 2 and so on until it finds a fitting statement.

You bascially just use it like an if statement, so if the first is check is false then it looks for the next one.
local ran = math.random(1,3)
if ran == 1 then
print("one")
elseif ran == 2 then
print("two")
else
print("three")
end

it wont work on my script for some reason so that why i asked you guys incase i was using it wrong
Well, post another question with the script if it still isn't working and I could probably look into it.
i went through it and found the problem.the problem was that i had 2 if statements on the top parts so i removed 1 and it works fine now
