Using Ternary operators instead of if statement, is it possible?

[ultrajeeps]

Hello,

I would appreciate all the help. I would like to write a function which would take couple of parms such name and address. Can I use ternary operators instead of IF STATEMENT to validate the function arguments:

function(name)
{
  if(!name)
  {
  document.write("Name: <br>");
  }
  else
  {
  document.write("Name: " + name + "<br>");
  }

} 

So pretty much I would like to write:

var name = (name == ' ') ? 'name' : ' ';

I am not sure if this is the write syntax. Appreciate all the help.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, you have it right....

var test = 110

var isItRight = (test == 110) ? alert(You are right!) : alert(you are wrong!);

or....

function TestMe(number)
{

var isItRight = (number == 110) ? alert(You are right!) : alert(you are wrong!);

Hope it helps;

The ternary will return the first or the second value. So you can write your logic like this:

  document.write("Name: " + (name ? name : '') + "<br>");
