<body>
<script>
var a =10;
var b =20;
varlinebreak = "<br />";
document.write ("((a > b) ? 100 : 200) => ");
result =(a > b) ? 100 : 200;
document.write(result);
document.write(linebreak);
document.write ("((a < b) ? 100 : 200) => ");
result =(a < b) ? 100 : 200;
document.write(result);
document.write(linebreak);
</script>
