Nested ternary is fine as long as it’s written on multiple lines because then it exactly mirrors the if/else-if/else structure. return ( a < b ?

return (

-1 :
a > b ?
1 :

- macspoofing 8y ago>then it exactly mirrors the if/else-if/else structure. But it doesn't mirror the if/else-if/else structure. Rather the mirrored semantics looks as follows: if(a < b) return -1; else if(a > b) return 1; else return 0; It's interesting that for all the claims in this thread about how obvious the ternary operator is, almost every single person got it wrong. Is there a functional difference in this example? No. There isn't. Is there a functional difference in any example? I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure. And the nice thing about not being clever, I don't have to worry about it.
