What is a nested conditional?
An if statement inside another if statement.
What does the ! (NOT) operator do?
Reverses a boolean value.
What does the && (AND) operator do?
Returns true only if both conditions are true.
What does the || (OR) operator do?
Returns true if at least one condition is true.
What is a compound conditional statement?
Combining multiple conditions into a single statement using logical operators.
What is the first step in evaluating a nested conditional?
Evaluate the outer if condition.
What happens after evaluating the outer if condition?
If true, evaluate the inner if condition; if false, skip the inner condition.
What is the first step in simplifying a complex conditional statement?
Identify the individual conditions.
What is the second step in simplifying a complex conditional statement?
Determine the logical relationships between the conditions (AND, OR, NOT).
What is the third step in simplifying a complex conditional statement?
Combine conditions using boolean operators to create a simpler expression.
What is the first step in debugging nested conditionals?
Check indentation to ensure correct structure.
What is the second step in debugging nested conditionals?
Test each condition individually with different inputs.
What is the third step in debugging nested conditionals?
Use a debugger or print statements to trace the execution flow.
What is the first step in writing a method with nested conditionals?
Define the method signature and parameters.
What is the second step in writing a method with nested conditionals?
Identify the different cases and conditions that need to be handled.
Why is indentation important in nested conditionals?
Improves readability and debugging.
What is the order of operations for boolean operators?
NOT, AND, OR.
What is the benefit of using compound conditionals?
Readability, maintainability, and sometimes efficiency.
How do nested conditionals work?
Outer if condition is checked first. If true, the inner if condition is evaluated. If false, the inner condition is skipped.
Why simplify complex nested if statements on exams?
Saves time and reduces errors.
What is the result of 'true || false'?

What is the result of '!true && false'?
false
What is the result of '!(true && false)'?
true
What is the result of 'false || (true && false)'?
false
What is the result of 'true && !false'?
true
