Description: If/else statements can be repetitive. In order to conditionally assign a variable without repetition, we can use *ternary operators*: ```js const cartItemCount = isAuthenticated ? 1 : 0; ``` __NB:__ Continue to use if/else statements and not ternaries: - If you want to perform an action. - If the condition is complex.
