Conditional operators

Question

So in a Syntax like this one
var age = 42;
var isAdult = (age < 18) ? "Too young": "Old enough";
document.write(isAdult);

the first option has the value "false" and the second the "true" one.
I tried to change the places of "Too young" and "Old enough" and it shown me "Too young".

Is my opinion right?

Answer 1

Assignments x=y are almost always true.
Your example in human format:
If spec is 0 then return loser else return winner
If (spec==0) then (return “Loser”) else (return “Winner”)
Same as:
(spec ==0)?”Loser”:”Winner”

If you used spec = 0 then that almost always return true (!=0)

Answer 2

in (..) you have a statement, then '?' ask the statement: "Is it true or false?", if its true the code will execute the first part of the condition(before colon), otherwise it will execute second part

Answer 3

spec == 0, change)
it checks if spec == 0, and if its true is will be equal to "winner"

Answer 4

the '?' asks "Is spec equal to zero?" and the answer is true so the code will execute first part(spec will be equal to "winner")

Answer 5

Well, I'm angry on my brother and I wrote this cute programm for him.

var Chris = "Chris is a ";
var spec = 0; // if it's zero, then Chris* is a loser
var is =(spec = 0)?"Winner":"Loser";
document.write(Chris + is);

As (spec = 0) is true, and Chris is a loser, I must put the "Loser" option on the second place. This means following:
(true)?"false":"true" = true
(false)?"false":"true" = false
It's also logical to do that. It's beginning with a zero and not with a one.

*name changed :D
