Den tar tre operander: en betingelse, en verdi som skal returneres hvis betingelsen er sann, og en verdi som skal returneres hvis betingelsen er falsk. Syntaksen til den tern\u00e6re operatoren er som f\u00f8lger:<\/p>\n<p><code>betingelse ? verdi_hvis_sann : verdi_hvis_falsk<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Betingelsen evalueres f\u00f8rst. Hvis den er sann, returneres uttrykket value_if_true. Hvis den er falsk, returneres uttrykket value_if_false. Den tern\u00e6re operatoren brukes ofte som et mer kortfattet alternativ til en if-else-setning i situasjoner der betingelsen er enkel og den resulterende koden er lett \u00e5 lese.<\/p>\n<p>Se for eksempel p\u00e5 f\u00f8lgende if-else-setning:<\/p>\n<p><code>if (x &gt; 0) { y = x; } else { y = -x; }<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Dette kan omskrives ved hjelp av den tern\u00e6re operatoren som:<\/p>\n<p><code>y = (x &gt; 0) ? x : -x;<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Den tern\u00e6re operatoren kan ogs\u00e5 nestes for \u00e5 h\u00e5ndtere mer komplekse forhold. For eksempel<\/p>\n<p><code>resultat = (x &gt; 0) ? \"Positiv\" : (x &lt; 0) ? &quot;Negativ&quot; : &quot;Null&quot;;<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Denne koden sjekker om x er st\u00f8rre enn 0. Hvis den er det, returneres verdien \"Positiv\". Hvis ikke, sjekker koden om x er mindre enn 0. Hvis den er det, returneres verdien \"Negative\". Hvis x verken er st\u00f8rre eller mindre enn 0, returneres verdien \"Zero\".<\/p>\n<p>Selv om den tern\u00e6re operatoren i noen tilfeller kan gj\u00f8re koden mer kortfattet og lettere \u00e5 lese, kan den ogs\u00e5 gj\u00f8re koden vanskeligere \u00e5 forst\u00e5 hvis den brukes i overkant mye eller p\u00e5 feil m\u00e5te. Det er viktig \u00e5 bruke den tern\u00e6re operatoren med omtanke og \u00e5 prioritere kodeklarhet og vedlikeholdbarhet fremfor kortfattethet.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L\u00e6r om den tern\u00e6re operatoren, en kortfattet m\u00e5te \u00e5 skrive if-else-setninger p\u00e5 i \u00e9n enkelt kodelinje.
