javascript double question mark code example

Example 1: double question mark javascript

//Similar to || but only returns the right-hand operand if the left-hand is null or undefined
0 ?? "other" // 0
false ?? "other" // false
null ?? "other" // "other"
undefined ?? "other" // "other"

Example 2: double question mark in js

const foo = null ?? 'default string';
console.log(foo);
// expected output: "default string"

const baz = 0 ?? 42;
console.log(baz);
// expected output: 0

Example 3: javascript double question mark

let a = null;
const b = a ?? -1;		// Same as b = ( a != null ? a : -1 );
console.log(b);		  	// output: -1
//OR IF
let a = 9;
const b = a ?? -1;
console.log(b);  		// output: 9

//PS.,VERY CLOSE TO '||' OPERATION IN FUNCTION, BY NOT THE SAME

Example 4: logical nullish operator javascript

function config(options) {
  options.duration ??= 100;
  options.speed ??= 25;
  return options;
}

config({ duration: 125 }); // { duration: 125, speed: 25 }
config({}); // { duration: 100, speed: 25 }
