Associativity for > operator in JS is left to right. c > b > a is evaluated as (c > b) > a (30 > 20) > 10 true > 10 JS converts true to 1 and executes comparison 1 > 10 false

Hatsy Rei i understand your explanation. I recently had a problem like this in python. Is there a way we can do this? I want a user to input an integer n, between 2 to 5 and output a string if the input is even. Tried doing this if n % 2 == 0 and 2 == n <= 5: print ("Not Weird") ..... Didn't work. I tried another way and got it. Sorry for the long story but is there a way we can write this an one expression instead of two?
