Nested loops are often treated as an algorithm problem. But most of the time, theyโre a design problem.
In this video, I break down a real example and show why nested loops usually appear: wrong data structures, misplaced behavior, and too many responsibilities in one place. Then we refactor the code step by step into something simpler and easier to understand.
