You almost never /have/ to use nested loops. Has the course got this

If you are using a function to avoid a nested loop, perhaps that’s not

Agreed. And yet it /might/ be a smart use of one. Nothing about simply
avoiding a loop is sufficient to make the assessment.
If one were using functional style, one would use tail recursive
functions instead of *any* explicit loops.
