Objective-C - nested if statements

It is always legal in Objective-C programming to nest if-else statements, which means you can use one if or else if statement inside another if or else if statement(s).

Syntax

The syntax for a nested if statement is as follows −

if( boolean_expression 1) {
   /* Executes when the boolean expression 1 is true */
   if(boolean_expression 2) {
      /* Executes when the boolean expression 2 is true */
   }
}

You can nest else if...else in the similar way as you have nested if statement.

Example

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
 
int main () {
   
   /* local variable definition */
   int a = 100;
   int b = 200;
 
   /* check the boolean condition */
   if( a == 100 ) {
      
      /* if condition is true then check the following */
      if( b == 200 ) {
         /* if condition is true then print the following */
         NSLog(@"Value of a is 100 and b is 200\n" );
      }
   }
   NSLog(@"Exact value of a is : %d\n", a );
   NSLog(@"Exact value of b is : %d\n", b );
 
   return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −
