I need to set value to a that depends on a condition.
What is the shortest way to do this with CoffeeScript?
E.g. this is how I'd do it in JavaScript:
a = true ? 5 : 10 # => a = 5
a = false ? 5 : 10 # => a = 10
Since everything is an expression, and thus results in a value, you can just use if/else.
a = if true then 5 else 10
a = if false then 5 else 10
You can see more about expression examples here.
