Ternary Operators: An Introduction to the Alternative Conditional Operator in JavaScript
Just like JavaScript's if/else and switch statements, ternary operators allow developers to introduce conditional logic in their applications.
The one major difference between if/else statements and ternary operators is that the ternary operator returns an expression (or value) while the if/else statement performs actions (executes code) inside each block.
I'll walk through the idea of statements vs expressions in-depth. On top of that, I'll explain why it's beneficial to consider incorporating the operator in your applications.
