Can if statement be nested infinitely?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

~ 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?

Answer 3

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

Answer 6

In Python the limit is given by the max indentation level, which generally is 100.

Try with this program: if you put NESTED-IFS to 100, you will receive an IndentationError. Instead, 99 is okay.
