Nested Or The And Operator?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My question is, would or use nested if statements or the and operator?

if debounce then
    if hit == false then
    end
end

or

if debounce and hit == false then

end

Which do you use and which is better? Thanks! :wave:

whichever you want. the end.

dont argue over semantics and writing code.

Nested is generally more clean, I would use it most of the time except for shared conditions

For instance, debounce

local debounce = false

local function doStuff(player)
    if not debounce then 
        if player:IsA("Player") then
        
        elseif player:IsA("Humanoid") then

        end
    end
end

that is better than

local debounce = false

local function doStuff(player)
    if not debounce and player:IsA("Player") then
        
    elseif not debounce and player:IsA("Humanoid") then

    end
end

but otherwise nested if statements are cleaner
