27 It's a little hard to google when all you have are symbols ;) The terms to use are "JavaScript conditional operator". If you see any more funny symbols in JavaScript, you should try looking up JavaScript's operators first: Mozilla Developer Center's list of operators. The one exception you're likely to encounter is the $ symbol.
That is, JavaScript "short-circuits" the evaluation of Boolean operators and will return the value associated with either the first non-false variable value or whatever the last variable contains. See Anurag's explanation of those values that will evaluate to false. Using this technique is not good practice for several reasons; however.
Novice JavaScript developers need to know that the "not not" operator is using implicitly the original loose comparison method instead of the exact === or !== operators and also the hidden cast operation that is happening behind the scenes and I show it in the example I provide.
The backtick character (`) in JavaScript is used to define template literals. A template literal is a special type of string that allows you to embed expressions, which are evaluated and included in the final string.
