Now let us compute the taxes due, given a filing status and an income figure. First,
we must branch on the filing status. Then, for each filing status, we must have
another branch on income level.
The two-level decision process is reflected in two levels of
if
statements. We say
that the income test is nested inside the test for filing status. (See
Figure 5
for a
flowchart.)
