# The Ternary Operator

## 👋 HELLO DEVELOPERS!
### This Blog Post is about the Ternary Operator in *JS, C++, C, C#, Java, etc.*

So, if you don't know, my name is Usman and I am a learner. Now let's start!

### 🚨 A Ternary Operator is an operator that makes a decision based on what condition you pass in. It is simply an `if` `else`. But shorter

The Syntax is something like this:
```
CONDITION ? result_if_true : result_if_false
```
The process is as follows:

1. You define your condition like `name === 'Usman'` or something else just like you pass inside of **`if`**.
2. If the condition you passed in is `true` or **correct**, **result_if_true** will be returned.
3. If it is `false` or **incorrect**, **result_if_false** will be returned.

## Example
```js
var company = "Google";
if (company === "Google") 
    console.log("READY TO WORK!");
else
  console.log("I WILL ONLY WORK AT GOOGLE.");
```
👆 This is the standard `if else`. You can transform this into a one-liner code.

As I told that `result_if_true` or `result_if_false` will be **returned**, so we will have to store the ternary expression in a variable or in a `console.log()`. 

So here, the **CONDITION **is `company === "Google"` and if it is `true`, we should return `"READY TO WORK!"`, else we should return `"I WILL ONLY WORK AT GOOGLE."`.

So the code will be:
```js
// CONDITION ? result_if_true : result_if_false
console.log(
  company === "Google" ? "READY TO WORK!" : "I WILL ONLY WORK AT GOOGLE."
);
```
#### OR
```js
var myDecision = company === "Google" ? "READY TO WORK!" : "I WILL ONLY WORK AT GOOGLE.";
console.log(myDecision);
```
If the `company` is set to `"Google"`, we will get the output `"READY TO WORK!"`. Else, we will get `"I WILL ONLY WORK AT GOOGLE."`.

I hope you understood the Ternary Operator clearly. If yes, then it would be nice if you solve this simple **[CHALLENGE](http://bit.ly/ternary-challenge)**.

I also have a video on my channel about the Ternary Operator
