Javascript ternary operator result always the same

Question

The code below always responds with "hi". Even if i set the campaign1 variable to 0. Can anyone advise if I am writing this out incorrectly?

 campaign1 = 2; campaign_string = (typeof campaign1 > 1 ? "hello" : "hi" );

Kind regards,

Answer 1

You don't need typeof operator. Try repeating without that; and get rid of the unnecessary paranthesis too.

This should do

campaign1 = 2;

campaign_string = campaign1 > 1 ? "hello" : "hi";

Answer 2

You are using typeof but not comparing it to a type. I think you mean to do this.

campaign1 = 2;

campaign_string = (campaign1 > 1 ? "hello" : "hi" );

typeof is used like this.

var variable = 'Test';

typeof variable === 'string' // This is true.

Answer 3

You dont need this 'typeof', so change it to:

campaign1 = 2;

campaign_string = campaign1 > 1 ? "hello" : "hi" );
