# Also note the \[${job_colors[\j==0]}\][j:\j]\[$reset\] part.
# Let's break this down a bit.
# You have the ${job_colors[\j==0]} array operation encased inside the non-printing character sequence indicators ( the things that start with \[ and end with \] )
# You can do arithmetic tests within bash arrays. In our case, this means that when the amount of background jobs equals 0 (\j==0), the outcome of the test will be equal to 'true'.
# When outcome of the test is equal to true, it will choose the first item in the array (in this case the $bold$yellow we have specified in the job_colors array.
# To not color any further than we need, we reset the color by issuing \[$reset\].
