But what if one decision leads naturally to another decision?
Sometimes, the action you take after one check depends on a further check. This is like making a decision within a decision. In programming, we call this nesting.

/elif
/else

, elif
, or else
. This is a nested conditional. The inner check only happens if the outer condition allows it.

It helps handle more complex scenarios. Make sense?
Imagine checking if a user is logged in. they are, you might check they are an administrator to grant special privileges.
