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 try:

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

look at this example:

let max = 10;
let b = 15;
(max < b) && (max = b)// this will be true
console.log("max=", max);

let maxx = 10
let bb = 5;
(maxx < bb) && (maxx = bb)// this will be false
console.log("maxx=", maxx);
