Multiple operations in ternary operator

Question

Is it possible to have multiple operations within a ternary operator's if/else?

I've come up with an example below, probably not the best example but I hope you get what I mean.

var totalCount = 0;
var oddCount = 0;
var evenCount = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  if(arr[i] % 2 === 0) {
    evenCount ++;
    totalCount ++;
  } else {
    oddCount ++;
    totalCount ++;
  }
}

into something like:

var totalCount = 0;
var oddCount = 0;
var evenCount = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  arr[i] % 2 === 0? evenCount ++ totalCount ++ : oddCount ++ totalCount ++;
  }
}

Answer 1

You can use the comma operator to execute multiple expressions in place of a single expression:

arr[i] % 2 === 0? (evenCount++, totalCount++) : (oddCount++, totalCount++);

The result of the comma operator is the result of the last expression.

But yeah, don't use the conditional operator for side effects.
