Conditional Operator ?: is right associative because right side evaluates first
Explaniation
A simple expression of conditional operator is
and an example is
in any case either true or false, its evaluate/calculate values on right side first then returns value according to condition
Further Explaination:
It is syntactically right-associative (it groups right-to-left), so that a?b:c?d:e?f:g means the same as a?b:(c?d:(e?f:g)).
Also consider Wiki defination
“The associativity (or fixity) of an operator is a property that determines how operators of the same precedence are grouped in the absence of parentheses.”
Hopes that helps
