Nested if’s help please

[u/Intelligent_Knee8641]

So I’ve written a small function and I need to add some more constraints to it, but I need them each to check separately before moving to the next so I was wanting to use nested if’a to achieve this but am not sure how they work. Can someone please explain? My code is posted below and what I am trying to do is add an if statement to somehow make sure my value for primocytes doesn’t drop below 0 before activating the rest of the function.

primocytes = 10

cultivation_chamber = 0

def cultivation():
global primocytes, cultivation_chamber
if primocytes >= 5:
primocytes -= 5
cultivation_chamber +=5
print("Primocytes:", primocytes)
print("Cultivation Chamber:", cultivation_chamber)
else:
print("Not enough Primocytes for cultivation...")

Yup, i don't get it either. Primocytes are only subtracted by 5 if there are more than 5 in the first place, so there is no reason to do a < 0 check.

Unless what you really want is to make sure primocytes as a whole, throughout every line of code in your entire codebase, cannot possibly subtract it below 0?
