What is The Ternary Operator In JavaScript ?

Here is The syntax:

So basically , It is another way to write the conditional statements (if / else / else if ) in a much simpler way. It is especially used for the non-complex cases.
for example , instead of this:

let a = 4;
if (a > 4)
{
console.log("ok");
}
else
{
console.log("not ok");
}

We can just do this:

a > 4 ? console.log("ok") : console.log("not ok");

While conditional if/else statements can be written using the ternary operator, it’s important to note that although they can simplify code, sometimes they can also make it quite terse, and harder to read.

console.log(a > 4 ? "ok" : "not ok"); 🙂
