@iam13islucky Well, *nested* ternary operators aren't faster to read when debugging than to just use a simple if-else statement. I've been using ternary operators in my codes but I try to stick with shorter conditions.

I'd only use them for small things where it's obvious what's being done. Not for huge logic where switch or if statements would be a lot more readable and easy to debug. What's the point of writing short code and then spending hours going through it when something doesn't work because it isn't debuggable?

I wrote nested ternary operators before and I swear I'd only use shorter conditions like the one below. 😳
string action = isTired == true ? "Get some sleep" : "Drink more coffee";
