Nothing on a computer can be done infinitely. There is always a memory limit.

~ swim ~ Is that about strictly nested if statements or could I have more by using functions? For example that I have 200 nested if statement, that has a function call in the innermost if statement, and that function call could have 100 nested if statements? Would it work fine?

Yes, but it is not strictly practical to have lot of nested if statements.

In Python the limit is given by the max indentation level, which generally is 100. https://code.sololearn.com/cOZam70Q9Yuc/?ref=app Try with this program: if you put NESTED-IFS to 100, you will receive an IndentationError. Instead, 99 is okay.

Yea it can, but you probably shouldn’t or 2 days later you won’t understand a thing from what you wrote...
