That’s true of anything you’re not used to. A traditional for loop is very confusing the first dozen times.

Simple chained ternaries like in the example really aren’t hard to reason about. They are a sequence of conditions, each followed by a `?`. The first condition that evaluates to true will return the value after the `?`. If none evaluate to true, the value after the final colon is returned.

You can chain as many ternaries as you want and follow the same simple rules to understand what they return.

EDIT: The example in the article is rather unfortunate though, as the if statement is nested in a different way than the ternary, for unclear reasons.
