Hi Internet,

I am working on a project that requires multiple nested if statements where if any of the if statement conditions are broken i need to go to a single else condition. I will post an example of what I have done and I am hoping to either confirm that this methodology is correct or to critique what I have done or how I could improvement. You help is greatly appreciated!

if [Condition1] :               # This condition MUST be met!
    if [Condition2] :
        if [Condition3] :
            if [Condition4] :
                # So far into the code I would process the data
                # That has come through all the coniditons
    else:
        # Catching all data that breaks any if statements
        # that are above ^^/>

Hey there! What you are looking is the boolean operator and:

if [Condition1] and [Condition2] and [Condition3] and [Condition4]:
    do_everything()
else:
    print("One of the above conditions failed!")

I tired this to no avail =( while it does make a lot of logical sense I am getting in the area of millions of results when i should be getting around a thousand I think I may have forgotten two for loops at the beginning...

for a in list1
    for b in list2
        if [Condition1] and [Condition2] and [Condition3] and [Condition4]:
            do_everything()
        else:
            print("One of the above conditions failed!")

do you think that this would work properly as i am trying to go through one list compare each object from the 1st list to an object in the second by attributes within the object.

Also the 1st condition MUST pass so I am wondering how i would handle this...

Well, in the code I posted, all four conditions must be met.

So, I've shown you my code, it's time for you to show us yours.

Actually I managed to answer my own question! Your ands where the answer i just had to mainatin my structure somewhat:

for a in List1:
    for b in List2:
        if [Condition1] :
            if [Condition1] and\
               [Condition1] and\
               [Condition1] and\
               [Condition1] and\
               [Condition1]:
                
                # DO STUFF!
        else:
            # DO STUFF!

Thanks for your help!
