How many levels of nesting are there in this design?
X is an integer test score between 0 and 100.
input X
if (0 <= X and X < 49)
output "you fail"
else if (50 <= X and X < 70)
output "your grade is" X
output "you did OK"
else if (70 <= X and X < 85)
output "your grade is" X
output "you did well"
else if (85 <= X and X < 100)
output "your grade is" X
output "you did great"
endif
output "how did you do?"
There are no nested if statements there, you could rewrite it to use nesting thus
if (0 <= X and X < 49) then
output "you fail"
else
if (50 <= X and X < 70)
output "your grade is" X
output "you did OK"
else
if (70 <= X and X < 85)
output "your grade is" X
output "you did well"
else
if (85 <= X and X < 100)
output "your grade is" X
output "you did great"
end if
end if
end if
end if
output "how did you do?"
so the "end if" statement at the end of the code is not a nesting level?
depends on your definition, I tend to go with no . In this case depending on wether you count the if it's 0 or 1
Depending on your definition of "levels of nesting", you've got 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, or 8.
