Conditional Ternary Operator in JavaScript

1.  Purpose

• The ternary operator is a concise way to express a simple if…else statement in a single line.

2. Syntax

condition ? expressionIfTrue : expressionIfFalse;

• condition: An expression that evaluates to true or false.
  • ? If the condition is true, the expression after the ? is executed.
  • : If the condition is false, the expression after the : is executed.

3. Example:

let age = 25;
let isAdult = (age >= 18) ? "Adult" : "Minor"; 
console.log(isAdult); // Output: "Adult"

In this example, age >= 18 is the condition.

• If age is greater than or equal to 18, the value of isAdult will be “Adult”.
• If age is less than 18, the value of isAdult will be “Minor”.
