resolving precedence of different math operators

Question

deposit = sellingPrice == 0 ? 0 : (sellingPrice - interest)

What is the above in terms of pseudo-code, I am rusty on ternary operators and operator precedence as complex as this.

If sellingPrice == 0 then deposit = 0

else

deposit = (sellingPrice - interest)

Use the ?: operator instead of an if-then-else statement if it makes your code more readable;

deposit is assigned 0 if sellingPrice equals 0 or sellingPrice - interest if not

same thing as

if(sellingPrice == 0){ deposit = 0; } else{ deposit = (sellingPrice - interest); }
