If condition 2 is true then statements within curly braces of condition 2 will gets executed .If condition 2 is false then statements within curly braces of else of condition 2 will gets executed. If condition 1 is false then statements within curly braces of else of condition 1 will gets executed. General form of Nested if else is given below.
