[Guide] Basic JS: Ternary operator. Fixes and enhancements (#22633)
1. Fix code solution (it used the assignment operator to compare _a_ and _b_ instead of the comparison one; which wouldn't pass the test at the exercise page). 2. Add problem explanation, hint, code explanation, run example and resources

| ## Use the Conditional (Ternary) Operator | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### Hint 1 | ||||
| Use ternary operator to check for equality. | ||||
| ### Problem explanation: | ||||
| _Use the `conditional operator` in the `checkEqual` function to check if two numbers are equal or not. The function should return either true or false._ | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### Warning Solution Ahead!!! | ||||
| #### Hint 1 | ||||
| Remember that the "traditional" `if...else` syntax can be re-written using the conditional operator (`condition ? statement if true : statement if false;`) | ||||

|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Spoiler alert! | ||||
|  | ||||
| **Solution ahead!** | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Code solution: | ||||
|  | ||||
| ```javascript | ||||
| function checkEqual(a, b) { | ||||
|   return (a == b ? true : false ); | ||||
|   return a === b ? true : false; | ||||
| } | ||||
|  | ||||
| checkEqual(1, 2); | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| ·  Run code at [repl.it](https://repl.it/@AdrianSkar/Basic-JS-Ternary-operator). | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### Code explanation | ||||
| - The function checks if the `condition` before the interrogation sign (`?`) is true, and if so, executes the `true` statement. Otherwise, it returns `false`. | ||||
