?: ?? Operators Instead Of IF|ELSE

by

For [1], you can’t: these operators are made to return a value, not perform operations.

The expression

a ? b : c

evaluates to b if a is true and evaluates to c if a is false.

The expression

b ?? c

evaluates to b if b is not null and evaluates to c if b is null.

If you write

return a ? b : c;

or

return b ?? c;

they will always return something.

For [2], you can write a function that returns the right value that performs your “multiple operations”, but that’s probably worse than just using if/else.
