Definition
Nested conditionals refer to having conditional statements (if/else) inside other conditional statements. This allows for more complex decision-making by evaluating multiple conditions within each other.
A conditional statement is a programming construct that allows for different actions to be taken based on whether a certain condition is true or false.
A boolean expression is an expression that evaluates to either true or false. It is commonly used in conditional statements.
Else-if Statement: An else-if statement allows for multiple conditions to be checked sequentially, providing alternative paths of execution based on different conditions.
