lets focus on the line `Tristate[Tristate["False"] = 0] = "False";`. Within it `Tristate["False"] = 0` should be self explanatory, i.e. sets `"False"` member of `Tristate` variable to be `"0"`. Note that in JavaScript the assignment operator returns the assigned value (in this case `0`). Therefore the next thing executed by the JavaScript runtime is `Tristate[0] = "False"`. This means that you can use the `Tristate` variable to convert a string version of the enum to a number or a number version of the enum to a string. This is demonstrated below:
