A somewhat painful triple-nested ternary operator

Question

I went looking through Raphael.js\'s source code to find out how he converted RGB values to HSB. I found out the function he did it in and I was in the process

Answer 1

As mentioned in MDN Docs:

function example(…) {
    return condition1 ? value1
         : condition2 ? value2
         : condition3 ? value3
         : value4;
}

// Equivalent to:

function example(…) {
    if (condition1) { return value1; }
    else if (condition2) { return value2; }
    else if (condition3) { return value3; }
    else { return value4; }
}
