Any way to toggle between two strings using one piece of JavaScript?

Question

I want to do something like if(something.val() == 'string1') { something.val('string2'); } else if(something.val() == 'string2') { something.val('string1') } But in one line of code. I can't quite remember how it's done, but it involves question marks and colons...

Answer 1

What you are looking for is called a "ternary operator" otherwise known as an "in-line if".

Syntax: something.val() === 'string1' ? something.val('string2') : something.val('string1');
