javascript shorthand if statement, without the else portion

Question

So I\'m using a shorthand javascript if/else statement (I read somewhere they\'re called Ternary statements?)

this.dragHandle.hasClas

Answer 1

The conditional operator is not a shorthand for the if statement. It's an operator, not a statement.

If you use it, you should use it as an operator, not as a statement.

Just use a zero value for the third operand:

slideOffset += direction == "right" ? $(".range-slide").width() : 0;
