In object-oriented programming, you can nest classes within other classes.
 
For instance, a '''Car''' class might contain an '''Engine''' class, which in turn contains '''Cylinders''' and '''Pistons''' classes.
 
'''Function Nesting'''
 
Functions can be nested within other functions.
 
For example, a '''calculateTotalCost''' function might call an '''applyDiscount''' function inside it.
 
'''HTML Nesting'''
 
In web development, HTML tags can be nested.
 
A '''<nowiki><div></nowiki>''' tag can contain other tags like '''<nowiki><p></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><span></nowiki>''', or even nested '''<nowiki><div></nowiki>''' tags.
 
'''Benefits of Nesting'''
 
'''Modularity''': Nesting promotes modularity by organizing related elements together.
 
'''Readability''': Proper nesting enhances code readability and maintainability.
 
'''Scoping''': Nested elements have their own scope, limiting their visibility to specific contexts.
 
'''Considerations'''
 
'''Over-Nesting''': Avoid excessive nesting, as it can lead to complexity and confusion.
 
'''Balance''': Find the right balance between nesting for clarity and avoiding unnecessary layers.
 
Nesting in software modeling helps structure and organize elements, making code more manageable and understandable.

Definition

Nesting refers to the arrangement of elements within other elements. It involves placing one element (such as a component, class, or function) inside another.

OCL
selfVM.Nestings Returns a tuple with all Nestings in the ViewModel including the top level ViewModel

In MDriven Designer, Nestings are represented as blue within the top level ViewModel (green).
