Simple nested JS Ternary

Sometimes it's really hard to grasp the idea of nested ternary in JavaScript, so I decided to present the simplest way of it, because I also struggled in the past when I just was too lazy to use if statements and wanted something handy and short. So this is it!

Suppose we have this task from codewars.com. Here what it says:

Given a month as an integer from 1 to 12, return to which quarter of the year it belongs as an integer number.
For example: month 2 (February), is part of the first quarter; month 6 (June), is part of the second quarter; and month 11 (November), is part of the fourth quarter.

Let's implement it in ternary:
First we are checking whether month is less than 4:

const quarterOf = (month) => {
  return month < 4 ? 1   
}

Then like always in ternary we are adding a colon

const quarterOf = (month) => {
  return month < 4 ? 1 : 

But instead of just adding the value in case of false we are adding the next condition which works just fine:

const quarterOf = (month) => {
  return month < 4 ? 1 : 
  month < 7 ? 2 :

And we can do it many times:

const quarterOf = (month) => {
  return month < 4 ? 1 : 
  month < 7 ? 2 : 
  month < 10 ? 3 : 
  4;  
}

And at the end we put the value like in else case.

I don't like the idea of adding more ternary conditions into another. IMO this decrease a lot the readability of the code
