Empty array and ternary operator

JavaScript
#1

I am sorry if this is a dumb question but
'' ? console.log('Product found') : console.log('Product not found')
This statement is correctly evaluated (empty string). But
[] ? console.log('Product found') : console.log('Product not found')
Why does the the above sentence throw an error? Since empty array is truthy I was expecting first condition to run

#2

I’m getting 'Product found' though… What kind of error are you getting?

#3

This is what I’m getting

[] ? console.log('product found') : console.log('Product not found')
 ^

Hmm… Do you have both of those lines next to each other, but no semicolon? I’m getting the same error when I do that.

'' ? console.log('Product found') : console.log('Not found!!!')
[] ? console.log('Product found') : console.log('Not found!!!')

Adding semicolons at the end of each lines should fix that then.

No I don’t. But I just ran this command on browser console and it didn’t throw any error. I guess it must be related to nodejs

#6

What’s the rest of the code, and where are you trying to run it? Because it works fine in a Node environment as well
