C - onditional Statements

Which of the following best describes how nested if statements work?

AThe outer <code>if</code> runs only if the inner <code>if</code> is false
BThe inner <code>if</code> runs only if the outer <code>if</code> is true
CThe inner <code>if</code> runs regardless of the outer <code>if</code>
DBoth <code>if</code> statements run at the same time
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Analyze nested if flow

    The inner if is inside the outer if block, so it runs only if outer condition is true.

  2. Step 2: Confirm execution order

    If outer if is false, inner if is skipped entirely.

  3. Final Answer:

    The inner if runs only if the outer if is true -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Inner if depends on outer if = true [OK]
Quick Trick: Inner if runs only when outer if is true [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming inner if runs always
  • Thinking outer depends on inner
  • Believing both run simultaneously
