I'm not CS smart enough to understand this... 😢

A ternary is a short hand to assign a value based on a true/false statement

let a; if(isTtrue) a=2 else a=9

Becomes

let a = (isTrue) ? 2 : 9

I really like the way kotlin is doing it. The readability of the first one and still a direct assignment.

var a = if (isTrue) 2 else 9

I like the python way as it reads more naturally

a = 2 if isTrue else 9
