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

H = C == 0 
    ? null 
    : V == r 
        ? (g - b) / C 
        : V == g 
            ? (b - r) / C + 2 
            : (r - g) / C + 4

I've seen Dan Abramov using this indentation placement pattern. While I don't like how the conditional operator ? no longer visually follows the condition, I prefer this to something like @lolmaus's example in that the indentation will always be consistent regardless the size of the conditional.

You actually start to look at it as ? true : false which is visually intuitive here. And this way, I find the ternary is much easier to spot and differentiate from the surrounding code.
