Control Flow
Ternary Operator in JavaScript
The ternary operator is used to execute code based on the result of a binary condition.
It takes in a binary condition as input, which makes it similar to an 'if-else' control flow block. It also, however, returns a value, behaving similar to a method.
Syntax
result = binaryCondition ? valueReturnedIfTrue : valueReturnedIfFalse;Notes
The ternary cannot be used to execute code, it must be an expression. It must be either returned in a method, or set equal to a variable with the same data type as the returned values.
Example
var findMaximum = (a > b) ? a : b;
