✅ Solution & explanation
$json.score > 50 ? 'Pass' : 'Fail'
Output: Pass
The ternary operator is a one-line if/else:
condition ? valueIfTrue : valueIfFalse. Since 85 > 50, the expression returns 'Pass'.💡 Pro tip: Ternaries can be nested for three outcomes, but anything beyond that is easier to maintain in an IF or Switch node.
