Example 1: javascript if shorthand

condition ? doThisIfTrue : doThisIfFalse

var name_map = {
        "#first": "First Name",
        "#middle": "Middle Name",
        "#last": "Last Name"
}

if (Object.keys(check_map).every(selector => $(selector).val())) { 
	  // Yes, they all have non-blank values
} else {
	// No, at least one of them has a blank value (or didn't exist at all)
}
