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.

In OCL

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

MDriven Designer

Nestings are represented as blue within the top level ViewModel (green).

-It creates a hierarchical structure where inner elements are contained within outer elements.

-In object-oriented programming, you can nest classes within other classes.
+* [[Documentation:Nesting.Striped|Nesting.Striped]]
-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.
