Use Ternary Operators for Simple Conditions

Problem

Writing verbose if-else statements for simple conditions makes code harder to read and maintain.

Solution

Use the ternary operator (condition ? true : false) for single-line conditional assignments.

Benefit

Reduces code length by up to 70% and improves readability for simple conditions.

Code Example

// Instead of:
if (age >= 18) {
    status = 'adult';
} else {
    status = 'minor';
}

// Use:
status = age >= 18 ? 'adult' : 'minor';
