Compound Booleans with logical operators

A game programmer uses this nested conditional in their online Four Square game.

IF (mouseX < 200 AND mouseY < 200) { 
    currentSquare ← 1
} ELSE {
    IF (mouseX > 200 AND mouseY < 200) {
        currentSquare ← 4
    } ELSE {
        IF (mouseX < 200 AND mouseY > 200) {
           currentSquare ← 2
        } ELSE {
            IF (mouseX > 200 AND mouseY > 200) {
                currentSquare ← 3
            }
       }
    }
}

When mouseX is 173 and mouseY is 271, what will be the value of currentSquare?

🤔

[What language is the code in?]
