How to write an inline IF statement in JavaScript?

You don't necessarily need jQuery. JavaScript alone will do this.

var a = 2;var b = 3;    var c = ((a < b) ? 'minor' : 'major');

The c variable will be minor if the value is true, and major if the value is false.

This is known as a Conditional (ternary) Operator.

There is a ternary operator, like this:

var c = (a < b) ? "a is less than b"  : "a is not less than b";

For writing if statement inline, the code inside of it should only be one statement:

if ( a < b ) // code to be executed without curly braces;
