Booleans are useful for decision-making in code, as they let us determine if specific conditions are met. For example, if we want to check if someone meets the age requirement for a concert or has a ticket, we might represent these conditions as booleans.</span></p>\n",

When using <b>nested conditionals</b> (conditions inside other conditions), we can build complex decision-making logic. For example, we might check first if the person is old enough, and if they are, then check if they have a ticket. This kind of logic allows us to handle multiple conditions in a structured way.</span></p>\n",
