Jelly Hypertraining

I guess I still don't understand why my original ternary wasn't working. Can you show me how it should be written? Where the condition is the first link?

“!ẇ⁼Ç³ḤƥMḋ»“test”Ɠ⁼⁵¤?

Ahhhh I understand more now.

¤ essentially combines the comparing of STDIN=5 as the condition?

> ¤ Nilad followed by links as a nilad.

Without it, the code is parsed like this “!ẇ⁼Ç³ḤƥMḋ» | “test” | (Ɠ | ⁼ | ⁵ ?)

instead of “!ẇ⁼Ç³ḤƥMḋ» | “test” | (Ɠ | ⁼ | ⁵¤) ?

Ah I see

That makes more sense, :)

Last thing I need to figure out now is how to nest the ternaries lol

non-jelly pseudocode would be
`input == 10 ? 'output10' : bonus == 20 ? 'output20' : 'outputelse'`

So if I use the current code
` Ɠ“!ẇ⁼Ç³ḤƥMḋ»“test”⁼?⁵`

“test” needs to be replaced with another ternary that takes the input, checks if it's equal to 20, and returns something depending on what it is. Although I think I need to combine some parts of the expressions so it doesn't get confused when running

Actually, I think my issue is that I'm reading a line and then I need to read the same line, so I can't just use Ɠ again

Is there a way to get only the first line from STDIN?

user202729

Actually Jelly is not really designed to take input from stdin.

@TristanWiley Doesn't ɠ/Ɠ do that already?

@TristanWiley Make Ɠ the current value. Transform it using a nested ternary.

Jelly is a tacit language.

Something like Ɠ V1 V2 V3 ⁼B$? ⁼?A

with nilad A, B, V1, V2, V3.

Note that ⁼B$ forms a monad as a parameter to the inner ?.

Gonna be honest, I'm lost lol

user202729

Take Ɠ 1 2 3 ⁼4$? ⁼?5 as an example. What does it do?

Alright, I got my solution, now to learn and understand what you're saying. Sorry for the delay!

It takes in the input and checks if it is not equal to 5. If that is the case, it returns 1. If it isn't it checks to see if it's not equal to 4, and if it is returns 2, else returns 3?
