What Are Nested Conditionals?

Nested conditionals are if statements placed inside other if statements. They let you check a second condition only if the first one is true.

Example:‍

age = 20
has_ticket = True
if age >= 18:    
if has_ticket:        
	print("Welcome to the event!")    
else:        
	print("You need a ticket.")
else:    
	print("You must be 18 or older.")

In this example, Python first checks the age. If it passes, it then checks for the ticket.

Why Use Nested Logic?

Nested conditionals are helpful when decisions depend on multiple layers of logic. For example, in analytics, you might want to check that a user is active and made a purchase before sending them a reward.
