How does the compiler treat the conditions in a nested if-else structure?
- Evaluates all conditions regardless of truth value
- Evaluates until the first true condition is found
- Skips evaluation of conditions if outside condition is false
- Processes only the outermost condition
In a nested if-else structure, the compiler evaluates conditions sequentially. Once a true condition is found, the subsequent "else if" or "else" conditions are not evaluated. If the outermost condition in a nested structure is false, the inner conditions won't be evaluated at all.
