For the case where the element in the collection exists, but might be falsey
you could do:
drugs[‘choice’] or ‘pot'
The ternary operator would be useful for something like:
drugs[‘choice’] if is_good_for_you(drugs[‘choice’]) else ‘nice cup of
tea’
Most of the time I avoid the ternary stuff though, I don’t think it’s easy to
read, no matter what language you’re writing in.
