How do you use the ? : (conditional) operator in JavaScript?

Question

In simple words, what is the ?: (conditional, "ternary") operator and how can I use it?

Answer 1

Hey mate just remember js works by evaluating to either true or false, right?

let's take a ternary operator :

questionAnswered ? "Awesome!" : "damn" ;

First, js checks whether questionAnswered is true or false.

if true ( ? ) you will get "Awesome!"

else ( : ) you will get "damn";

Hope this helps friend :)
