+The ternary operator is a shortcut for the `if` statement. It consists of three operands; a question mark, a condition, and an expression to execute if the condition is true, followed by a colon and another expression to execute if it’s false.
+
+```js
+let age = 26;
+
+// condition ? expression if true : expression if false
+let drink = (age >= 21) ? "Beer" : "Juice";
+
+console.log(drink); // "Beer"
+
+// Equivalent to:
+let drink;
+if ((age >= 21)) {
+	drink = "Beer";
+} else {
+	drink = "Juice";
+}
+
+console.log(drink); // "Beer"
+```
