How do you purport to understand any of that if you don't understand
something so basic as the ternary (conditional) operator?
Structured programming isn't something you can go about in a haphazard
way like that, definitely not in a safe manner, you need to understand the
general syntax of the _entire_ language before you attempt to seriously
look at a real program, at least one bearing the complexity that CircleMUD
does...
See: http://www.cit.ac.nz/smac/cprogram/c_033.htm
For details on the C language's only ternary operator ('?')

Sample use:
foo = (0 ? a : c,b)
is the same as foo = c
