  var min = 3;
  var max = 10;
  value = ((value < min) ? min : ((value > max) ? max : value));

So you can write that literally literally (sic!) in one line.

This is equivalent to

  if (value < min) value = min; else if (value > max) value = max;

provided that “value” does not have a peculiar getter or setter.
