But it looks dead: https://github.com/rwaldron/proposal-math-extensions/issues/...
As someone mentioned in the thread, nested ternary is easier to interpret:
(a > max ? max : (a < min ? min : a))
OTOH I think chained ternaries can be simple and easy to understand.
Yes, they are the exact same thing in this case, but getting rid of those nested parens really helps, at least for me.
sarah180's example is a good illustration. I would change the order of the tests because it makes more sense to me to check the min before the max. I'd also make one minor formatting change, because I code in a proportional font and can't line things up in columns:
a < min ? min :
a > max ? max :
a
I would also wrap the whole thing inside a function:
function clamp( value, min, max ) {
return(
value < min ? min :
value > max ? max :
value
);
}
a > max ? max :
a < min ? min :
a
