"# Python Nested `if` statement\n",
"\n",
"We can have a nested-**[if-else](https://github.com/milaan9/03_Python_Flow_Control/blob/main/002_Python_if_else_statement.ipynb)** or nested-**[if-elif-else](https://github.com/milaan9/03_Python_Flow_Control/blob/main/003_Python_if_elif_else_statement%20.ipynb)** statement inside another **`if-else`** statement. This is called **nesting** in computer programming. The nested if statements is useful when we want to make a series of decisions.\n",
"\n",
"Any number of these statements can be nested inside one another. Indentation is the only way to figure out the level of nesting. They can get confusing, so they must be avoided unless necessary.\n",
"\n",
"We can use nested if statements for situations where we want to check for a **secondary condition** if the first condition executes as **`True`**."
