Example

for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
    for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
        for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
            for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
                for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
                    for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
                        for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
                            for (i=0; i<n; ++i){
                                ...
                                //do something
...
}

Importance

Very complex code are difficult to read, debug and maintain. It is always a good idea to keep things as simple as possible.

How to fix this

This can be solved by breaking down complex functions into smaller onces.
