--description--
In the previous challenge, you used a single conditional operator. You can also chain them together to check for multiple conditions.
The following function uses if
, else if
, and else
statements to check multiple conditions:
function findGreaterOrEqual(a, b) {
if (a === b) {
return "a and b are equal";
}
else if (a > b) {
return "a is greater";
}
else {
return "b is greater";
}
}
The above function can be re-written using multiple conditional operators:
function findGreaterOrEqual(a, b) {
return (a === b) ? "a and b are equal"
: (a > b) ? "a is greater"
: "b is greater";
}
It is considered best practice to format multiple conditional operators such that each condition is on a separate line, as shown above. Using multiple conditional operators without proper indentation may make your code hard to read. For example:
function findGreaterOrEqual(a, b) {
return (a === b) ? "a and b are equal" : (a > b) ? "a is greater" : "b is greater";
}
--instructions--
In the checkSign
function, use multiple conditional operators - following the recommended format used in findGreaterOrEqual
- to check if a number is positive, negative or zero. The function should return positive
, negative
or zero
.
--hints--
checkSign
should use multiple conditional operators
assert(/.+?\s*?\?\s*?.+?\s*?:\s*?.+?\s*?\?\s*?.+?\s*?:\s*?.+?/gi.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));
checkSign(10)
should return the string positive
. Note that capitalization matters
assert(checkSign(10) === 'positive');
checkSign(-12)
should return the string negative
. Note that capitalization matters
assert(checkSign(-12) === 'negative');
checkSign(0)
should return the string zero
. Note that capitalization matters
assert(checkSign(0) === 'zero');
