## Description
<section id='description'>

The conditional operator, also called the ternary operator, can be used as a one line if-else expression. The syntax is: `condition ? statement-if-true : statement-if-false;`. 

Change the if-else expression from the last challenge to use the ternary operator instead. Here is an example:

```js
if (age >= 18) {
  adultFunction();
} else {
  kidFunction();
}

// The above if-else expression does the same thing as the following line

age >= 18 ? adultFunction() : kidFunction();
```
