Isn't it just two nested ternary operators? The equivalent being: selected_value = condition_1 ? value_1 : condition_2 ? value_2 : value_3

  The C (and C++) ternary operator is usually used in a more convenient way to handle multiple cases: selected_value = condition_1 ? value_1 : condition_2 ? value_2 : value_3
