JavaScript: Ternary Conditional

Some simple conditionals take a lot of code to choose on assignment.

let isAuthor = false;
let weapon;

if (isAuthor) {
  weapon = "Exalibur";
} else {
  weapon = "Longsword";
};

Let's use a syntax trick to make this more concise!

The ternary conditional provides a shortcut over lengthier conditional blocks. Ternary conditional syntax:

someCondition ? pickThisIfTrue : pickThisIfFalse ;

Let's turn our lengthy conditional example to ternary conditional.

let isAuthur = false;
let weapon = isAuthor ? "Exalibur" : "Longsword";
