preferred method for assigning values, and is sometimes called the
'default pattern' for obvious reasons (the other common form is the
guard pattern ). It, along with the ternary, is usually more
succinct than if/else, the latter being

Strictly, no. It returns undefined, which may evaluate to false
depending on the test, which should be based on the

the granularity to differenciate between undefined, null, 0, and
false ?
