ternary in code javascript code example
Example 1: ternary operator javascript
// ternary operators are frequently used as a shorter cleaner if statement
// condition ? exprIfTrue : exprIfFalse
let age = 15;
let canDrive = age >= 16 ? 'yes' : 'no';
// canDrive will be 'no'
// the condition will be age > 16 which is false so canDrive will equal exprIfFalse
// this ternary is the same as this if else statement
let age = 15;
let canDrive;
if (age >= 16) {
canDrive = 'yes';
} else {
canDrive = 'no';
}
// canDrive will be 'no' because 15 is less than 16
Example 2: Ternary Operator
condition ? expression-if-true : expression-if-false;
function findGreater(a, b) {
return a > b ? "a is greater" : "b is greater";
}
