I would think it works like Subtract one from x. If x was less than or equal to 58, subtract a further ten from it., no?

| Feb 5, 2019 at 23:02 | comment | added | 640KB | The ternary is just a shortcut to doing it. Basically $x > 58 evaluates to 1, and so we either subtract that or 11 from $x. In the case where it's higher, it's offset by the ASCII values in the rand() statement being one higher. You can see that this generates a uniformly random (as uniform as PHP's rand() is capable of) distribution: tio.run/… | |
| Feb 5, 2019 at 22:53 | comment | added | 640KB | @JonathanFrech in other words we want a number that's between 33-47 or 58-127. So we pick a number that's 58 minus the size of the lower range. If the number is below 58 it's just translated down to the lower range by subtracting the difference. Because of course we can't display numbers (ASCII char 48-57) | |

Yes, my mistake. Regarding $x-= $x > 58 ?: 11; // subtract 11, if x is less than 58 -- could you elaborate?
