Question about an inner loop nested in an outer loop?

When we have one inner loop nested in the outer loop, is it like the inner loop must exit its loop before the outer loop can run again or both loops (the inner loop and the outer loop) run at the same time?

When the inner loop has completed, the outer loop continues it's iteration and initiates a sequence of the inner loop yet again. So basically the outer loop waits for the inner loop to finish up before moving on to the next step, then it waits again, and again, until all iterations of the outer loop is complete.
