For example, a nested loop is a loop that is contained within another loop. Similarly, a nested function is a function that is defined within another function.
Mathematics[edit | edit source]
In Mathematics, the concept of nesting is used in set theory. A nested set is a set that is contained within another set. This concept is used in various areas of mathematics, including Topology, Algebra, and Analysis.
Biology[edit | edit source]
In Biology, the term "nested" is used to describe structures or elements that are contained within similar structures or elements. For example, a nested gene is a gene that is located within an intron of another gene. Similarly, a nested PCR is a modification of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that aims to reduce non-specific binding in products due to the amplification of unexpected primer binding sites.
