Assign only if condition is true in ternary operator in JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to do something like this in JavaScript?

max = (max < b) ? b;

In other words, assign value only if the condition is true.

Answer 1

An expression with ternary operator must have both values, i.e. for both the true and false cases.

You can however

max = (max < b) ? b : max;

in this case, if condition is false, value of max will not change.
