Nested ternary operator returns incorrect results

[lcofresi]

This very simple code show the problem:

Local $v1 = 0, $v2 = 2
Local $v3 = ($v1 ? $v1 : ($v2 = 2 or $v2 = 3 ? 0 : 8))
MsgBox(0, "", $v3)

This should always display an integer value. Instead, it show the boolean value "True".

If one changes the value of $v2 in the first line (say, $v1 = 1), then it displays "8".

No bug here: you must use parenthesis to enclose the coumpound condition.

Local $v1 = 0, $v2 = 2
Local $v3 = ($v1 ? $v1 : (($v2 = 2 or $v2 = 3) ? 0 : 8))
MsgBox(0, "", $v3)

Next time, please ask on the General Help forum to confirm bug status.

Then the ternary operator has the wrong precedence. That operator should always have the lowest precedence.

Then file a feature request for this precise reason.
BTW I agree.

Can you see that parenthesis are being used ?

This is what the interpreter should do:

(1) First, solve the INNER parenthesis:

($v2 = 2 or $v2 = 3 ? 0 : 8)

That should return 0

(2) Second, solve the OUTER parenthesis, using the value obtained in (1)

($v1 ? $v1 : 0)

It then should return 0

RECTIFICATION AND MY APOLOGIES:

Sorry guys, I made a mistake. My apologies, specially to jchd18. You are right, and I was wrong.
