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


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

====== 1. Class Nesting ======

* 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.

* [[Documentation:Nesting.Editable|Nesting.Editable]]
* Functions can be nested within other functions.
* [[Documentation:Nesting.Striped|Nesting.Striped]]
* For example, a '''calculateTotalCost''' function might call an '''applyDiscount''' function inside it.
 
====== 3. HTML Nesting ======
 
* In web development, HTML tags can be nested.
* A <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> tag can contain other tags like <code><nowiki><p></nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki><span></nowiki></code>, or even nested <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> 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.
