Key Concepts

Nested if statement

A nested if statement is a control structure where one if statement is placed inside another, allowing multiple layers of condition evaluation. This approach is typically used when a decision has sub-decisions; the inner if is executed only when the condition of the outer if is true, creating a hierarchy of conditions that can handle complex logical requirements.

Multiway if statement

A multiway if statement (or if-elif-else chain) is a control structure designed to handle multiple mutually exclusive conditions in a linear and organized manner. Instead of nesting conditions, the multiway approach evaluates several conditions sequentially, executing the block associated with the first true condition and ultimately simplifying the structure and improving the readability of the decision-making logic.
