Hi,
In this video lecture, the descriptions for unary, binary and ternary operators seem incorrect; shouldn't each describe the number of operands and not the number of operator symbols?
For example, the identical operator "===" is binary, because it acts upon two operands. A ternary operator has three operands "? :" where (condition) ? (true) : (false).
Which way is actually right? or does it even matter? Thanks!

Please see the recent discussion on this topic. I think Stone Preston provides a good explanation on this.
