Example 1: javascript ternary operator

//ternary operator example:
var isOpen = true; //try changing isOpen to false
var welcomeMessage  = isOpen ? "We are open, come on in." : "Sorry, we are closed.";

Example 2: make shorter if statements with objects

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)
}
