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

You can just set max to itself if the condition is false.

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

Or you can try using the && operator:

(max < b) && (max = b);

Or to keep your code simple, just use an if.

if(max < v) max = b;
