Shortening My Code; ideas?

pluto The ? operator is like a condensed if/else statement.

If I had this code:

var num = 1;
num ? console.log("This statement is true") : console.log("This statement is false");

It would return "This statement is true" because it's the same as:

var num = 1;
if(num){
    console.log("This statement is true");
}else {
    console.log("This statement is false");
}

You can also chain multiple of these statements together:

var age = 22;
age < 18 ? console.log("You are a Child") : age < 65 ? console.log("You are an adult") : console.log("You are a senior");

This would return "You are an adult". This statement is the same as:

var age = 22;
if(age < 18){
    console.log("You are a child");
}else {
     if(age < 65){
         console.log("You are an adult");
     }else {
         console.log("You are a senior");
     }
}

As you can see, it decreased the number of lines from 10 all the way down to just 2.

Unlike if/else however, the ? statements return values that you can use in your program.

For example, I can set variables to whatever the statement returns; In this small bit of code, it checks if you're a kid or not and sets the price accordingly.

var age = 9;
var ticketPrice = age < 18 ? "$5.00" : "$10.00";
console.log(ticketPrice);
//Returns $5.00

If you need more help with it there's some topics abt it on StackOverflow and on google, here's some documentation on it https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Conditional_Operator

Letti42 this will be useful

The line (itemsP1[0] === "goggles" ? "Equip": itemsP1[0] === "gogglesEquipped" ? "Unequip": "") in Varrience's code basically means:

if(itemsP1[0] === "goggles"){
    return "Equip";
}else {
    if(itemsP1[0] === "gogglesEquipped"){
        return "Unequip";
    } else return "";
}

Just an easy way not to scar your eyes with an excessive amount of if else statements

Letti42 nice
