You can read this piece of code in two different ways:

Reading the logic

In this case, use mostly English words, ignore most of the symbols. You can even swap the order of terms. For example: If the X coordinate is less than the width of the box, then log inside. Otherwise, put an alert saying “error”.

Use it when you're helping somebody write this code.

Reading the syntax, indentation, and symbols

In that case, be careful and include every single symbol. For instance: If, open parenthesis, coordinate dot x, less or equal than, box dot width, close parenthesis, open curly bracket. Indent, console dot log, open parenthesis, open quote, inside, end quote, end parenthesis, end curly bracket. Else, open curly bracket, alert open parenthesis, open quote, error, end quote, end parenthesis, end curly bracket.
