Ternary operation in CoffeeScript

Question

I need to set value to a that depends on a condition.

What is the shortest way to do this with CoffeeScript?

E.g. this is how I\'d do it in Java

Answer 1

CoffeeScript has no ternary operator. That's what the docs say.

You can still use a syntax like

a = true then 5 else 10

It's way much clearer.
