Does anyone here know of any articles that explain/teach the concept on how to navigate nested statements?

example:
CODE
if(something) {
    while(var == true) {
 if(i < 10000) {
     i++;
 } else {
     var = false;
 }
    }
}
if(a1_steak_sauce == GOOD) {
    print("let's eat the steak!");
}


I'm thinking recursion would be required of this. But anyway basically I'd like to learn how to be able to navigate and manipulate such a statement "tree".


Thanks all!

It's not recursion.
Recursion is a function calling itself (direct) or a function f1 calling f2 that calls f1 (indirect).

Nested loops ain't that bad.
Try this.
Single step into your loop while keeping the loop variables in the Watch List.
That's a fun way to see how nested stuff works.

Maybe you misunderstand? I want to parse a nested statement structure. GEt the "data" out of it, and then rebuild it in, oh say, the php syntax.

The easiest way i've ever found to get/see the data from loops and nested loops is to generate the assembly code and then use a good debgger to watch all the stack values/registers. In this way you can see EVERY change each line of code makes (broken down into the simplest of code - without using binary)

Yeah....but that doesn't do much to offer insight into making a function/method/whatever to parse nested statements.
