JavaScript single line ‘if’ statement – best syntax, this alternative? [closed]

by

I’ve seen the short-circuiting behaviour of the && operator used to achieve this, although people who are not accustomed to this may find it hard to read or even call it an anti-pattern:

lemons && document.write("foo gave me a bar");

Personally, I’ll often use single-line if without brackets, like this:

if (lemons) document.write("foo gave me a bar");

If I need to add more statements in, I’ll put the statements on the next line and add brackets. Since my IDE does automatic indentation, the maintainability objections to this practice are moot.
