Use the Conditional (Ternary) Operator statement

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
I can’t get this conditional statement correct with ```
return a = b ? “true” : “false” ; nor with return ( a = b ? “true” : “false”);

Where is my error here, please.



**Your code so far**

```js

function checkEqual(a, b) {
    return  a = b ? "true" : "false" ;
}

checkEqual(1, 2);

you are using the assignment operator instead of one of the equality operators.

In addition to what @RadoIIvanov said, note that "true" and "false" are not the same as true and false.

I think I get it. Thank you.

That’s it. Thanks for the clue. Boda Assignment vs equality.
