What is the performance difference between ternary operators and if-else statements?

What is the performance difference between ternary operators and if-else statements?

Ternary operators are generally faster than if-else statements because they are more concise and can be optimized better by compilers.

Can you give me an example of both?

Sure! For a ternary operator: let result = (a > b) ? a : b; and for if-else: if (a > b) { result = a; } else { result = b; }.

Are there any situations where if-else is preferred?

Yes, if-else statements are preferred for complex conditions or when multiple statements need to be executed based on the condition.

Does using ternary operators affect code readability?

Yes, while ternary operators can make code shorter, they can also reduce readability if overused or used in complex conditions.
