+readability-avoid-nested-conditional-operator
+=============================================
+
+Identifies instances of nested conditional operators in the code.
+
+Nested conditional operators, also known as ternary operators, can contribute
+to reduced code readability and comprehension. So they should be split as
+several statements and stored the intermediate results in temporary variable.
+
+Examples:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  int NestInConditional = (condition1 ? true1 : false1) ? true2 : false2;
+  int NestInTrue = condition1 ? (condition2 ? true1 : false1) : false2;
+  int NestInFalse = condition1 ? true1 : condition2 ? true2 : false1;
+
+This check implements part of `AUTOSAR C++14 Rule A5-16-1
+<https://www.autosar.org/fileadmin/standards/R22-11/AP/AUTOSAR_RS_CPP14Guidelines.pdf>`_.
