Nested Statements
The general form templates use the line:
<statement>
to indicate that any valid statement can be inserted in that location in the code. When a statement includes another statement of the same kind, we call that a nested statement. We can expand the template for the
if...else statement to include another if...else statement:
if (<boolean condition>)
if (<boolean condition>)
<statement>
else
<statement>
else
<statement>
This is called a nested if statement, and we have seen it already. When we nest loop statements, we call them nested loops, and it is common to see them in many programs.
