alert(test: +(1==2)?'hello':'world');

This should show me 'world' on the screen since 1 is not equal to 2.

How come it alerts 'hello'?

Try wrapping your parens around the operation

alert(test: + (1 == 2 ? 'hello' : 'world'));

what this is doing:

alert(test: +(1==2)?'hello':'world');

is evaluating test: + (1==2) as true which outputs 'hello'
