 Fucking ternaries can be good for quick conditionals, but can be a minefield when used with multi line blocks when an IF/ELSE should have been used.

				@C0D4 Well, there are use cases for both ternaries and if statements. But in this case I wouldn't say that either would be good. Assigning boolean values and doing nothing else in an if/else is, well, never correct imo. But I totally agree. Ternaries are supposed to be short and clear. Else if/else is probably smarter.

 I've never actually been part of something like this before, just a lone wolf for a longggg time.

 I typically just do something like below unless there's I have a reason to write a ternary.
 
 My experience with ternaries being used for inline assignments and multi line blocks (like 10+ lines per of/else section) has put me off them.
 
 But each to their own.
 
 someBool = false;
 If( x == y )
 someBool = true;







I hate complicated and out of date documentation!!!
if (me == angryClickityClackity) {
headButtKeyboard = True;
}else{
headButtKeyboard = false;
}
