es6 Ternary Operato code example

Example 1: ternary function javascript

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

//is the same as:

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

Example 2: ternary operator shorthand javascript

let startingNum = startingNum ? otherNum : 1
// can be expressed as
let startingNum = otherNum || 1

// Another scenario not covered here is if you want the value 
// to return false when not matched. 
//The JavaScript shorthandfor this is:
let startingNum = startingNum ? otherNum : 0
// But it can be expressed as
let startingNum = startingNum && otherNum
