Can you write a code block within a code block?

For instance something like this:

10.times do |x|
      #some random code here
         10.times do |y|
              #random code
         end
end

Yes you can have nested statements. Be careful though since this can decrease a program's performance in more complicated programs depending on what you are doing. (I'm talking about large loops that have large loops that have large loops etc etc)
