Day 85/100 Ternary Operator

There are endless possibilities if one would try to do great to achieve a particular goal and put tons of trial and error to the test.

We can use a ternary operator to perform this same functionality:

isNightTime ? console.log('Turn on the lights!') : console.log('Turn off the lights!');

In the example above:

  • The condition, isNightTime, is provided before the ?.
  • Two expressions follow the ? and are separated by a colon :.
  • If the condition evaluates to true, the first expression executes.
  • If the condition evaluates to false, the second expression executes.

let userName = 'Teddy';

if(userName) {
  console.log('Hello There!');
}

let userQuestion = 'Why is the sky blue?';
console.log(`${userName}, I have a question for you. ${userQuestion}`);

let randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 8);
// console.log(randomNumber);

let eightBall = '';
eightBall = randomNumber;

switch (eightBall) {
  case 8:

Accessibility is only about adding alternative text to images

In fact, missing alternative text for images is one of the biggest accessibility issues. But besides this, there are many things to be considered while making accessible website - headline structure, functional controls, color contrast and much more.
