/** File Name: expression-001.js Corresponds to: ecma/Expressions/11.12-2-n.js ECMA Section: 11.12 Description: The grammar for a ConditionalExpression in ECMAScript is a little bit different from that in C and Java, which each allow the second subexpression to be an Expression but restrict the third expression to be a ConditionalExpression. The motivation for this difference in ECMAScript is to allow an assignment expression to be governed by either arm of a conditional and to eliminate the confusing and fairly useless case of a comma expression as the center expression.
