Nullish Coalescing Operator
Nullish Coalescing Operator
The nullish coalescing operator (??) assigns a default value if a variable is null or undefined. It returns the default value if the variable is null or undefined, otherwise it returns the variable's value.
Syntax of Nullish Coalescing Operator
Syntax of Nullish Coalescing Operator
The syntax is value ?? default. The operator checks if value is null or undefined. If it is, it returns the default value. If not, it returns the value.
Arrow Functions
Arrow Functions
A concise way to define functions in JavaScript using the => syntax. Arrow functions can have a single-line expression without an explicit return or a code block with an explicit return statement. They inherit this from their surrounding scope.

Study Notes
JavaScript Advanced Operators
-
Arrow Functions: Provide a concise way to write functions using the
=>syntax.- Parameters: Listed before the arrow.
- Single-Line Expression: No
returnstatement needed (eg.,param => param * 2). - Code Block: Enclosed in curly braces
{}with an explicitreturnstatement. thisBinding: Inheritthisfrom surrounding scope.
-
Destructuring: Unpacks values from arrays or object properties into distinct variables.
- Arrays: Define variables to assign values from an array.
- Objects: Define variables to assign values from object properties.
- Rest Operator (
...): Handles unassigned elements in arrays for example[first,...rest].
-
Spread Operator (
...): Expands iterables (like arrays, strings) in contexts that expect multiple elements.- Function Calls: Used to pass array elements as individual arguments. For example
console.log(Math.max(...nums)). - Array Initialization: Used to create new arrays containing elements from existing arrays and other elements e.g
const moreNums = [...nums, 4, 5]. - Object Creation: Used to create new objects by copying existing object properties and adding additional ones without altering the original object. For example
const obj2 = {...obj1, c: 3 }.
- Function Calls: Used to pass array elements as individual arguments. For example
-
Ternary Operator: Offers a compact syntax for conditional expressions.
- Syntax:
condition ? expressionIfTrue : expressionIfFalse
- Syntax:
-
Nullish Coalescing Operator (
??): Provides a concise way to assign a default value if a value isnullorundefined.- Syntax:
value ?? default - Returns the
defaultvalue ifvalueisnullorundefined, otherwise returnsvalue.
- Syntax:
-
Caution: While useful for conciseness, overuse of these operators in complex combinations or long statements can hinder code readability. Consider the trade-off between fewer lines of code and easier maintenance.
