In fact, Youtube does manage their comments in trees, but they only allow the trees to have two levels: parent and children, but there are no grandchildren, and that's what this user refers to as "only one level of nestedness".

Now, is C replying to B or to A? In fact, on YouTube, even if C relies to B, you will still get something like this. The problem is, YouTube does manage their comments in trees, but they only allow the trees to have two levels: parent and children, but there are no grandchildren, and that's what this user refers to as "only one level of nestedness". In order to support multiple level of nestedness, we need to create trees with more than two levels, and that is what you do in this assignment, your goal is to write a program to make youtube display comments the better way, so users can see which comment is a reply to which comment.
If you are still not clear about this problem, try to reply to a comment on youtube, and make sure you reply to a comment which is already a reply to another comment.
