chaining ternary operators code example

Example 1: nested ternary operator javascript

function example(…) {
    return condition1 ? value1
         : condition2 ? value2
         : condition3 ? value3
         : value4;
}

// Equivalent to:

function example(…) {
    if (condition1) { return value1; }
    else if (condition2) { return value2; }
    else if (condition3) { return value3; }
    else { return value4; }
}

Example 2: ternary function javascript

var variable;
if (condition)
  variable = "something";
else
  variable = "something else";

//is the same as:

var variable = condition ? "something" : "something else";
