What is/How to use ternary if?

What's up, guys? Everything cool? 😎

Today we're going to talk about a very interesting and useful subject for those who work with JavaScript: the infamous ternary if! 🤯

The ternary if is a JavaScript operator that replaces the if-else decision structure with a single line of code. In other words, it's a lifesaver when you need to write more concise and elegant code. Seriously, who doesn't want code like that?

And the coolest thing is that the ternary if is super easy to use! Its syntax is basically like this:

condition ? expr1 : expr2;

Here, "condition" is the condition to be tested, "expr1" is the value returned if the condition is true, and "expr2" is the value returned if the condition is false. Easy, right?

But now the question arises: do you prefer the traditional if or the ternary if? 🤔

That's a matter of personal style! Some programmers love to use the ternary if whenever possible because they find it more elegant and easier to understand. Others prefer the traditional if because they consider it more readable. But the important thing is to know how to use both structures when necessary.

So, here's the tip: if you want to make your code more concise and elegant without losing efficiency, the ternary if is a great option! But remember to evaluate each situation and choose the best structure for your project.
