JavaScript Ternary Operator
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
Learn the basics of the JavaScript Ternary Operator
The ternary operator is the only operator in JavaScript that works with 3 operands, and it’s a short way to express conditionals.
This is how it looks:
<condition> ? <expression> : <expression>
The condition <condition>
is evaluated as a boolean, and upon the result, the operator runs the first expression (if the condition is true) or the second.
This is an example: we check if running
equals to true, and if this is the case we call the stop()
function. Otherwise we call the run()
function:
Example usage:
const running = true;
(running === true) ? stop() : run()
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching May 21, 2024. Join the waiting list!
