Hello :slight_smile:

It is all about how the Ternary operator works.

The Ternary operator is ? :
and it RETURNS a value.

The Ternary is used like this
condition ? return_value_if_condition_is_true : return_value_if_condition_is_false;
Now, check the example code in the task 70, and you will observe that the return value of the Ternary operator was assigned to a variable like this
const variable = condition ? return_value_if_condition_is_true : return_value_if_condition_is_false;

In these examples, the variable(s) were declared, and the return value(s) were assigned to them on the same line of code. However in the task you are given, the variables you expected to use were declared earlier on. So, you just have to assign the return values to them.

This the concept you are expected to apply in your solution.

Cheers! Happy Coding :slight_smile:
