title: compare.Conditional
description: Returns one of two arguments depending on the value of the control argument.
categories: []
keywords: []
params:
functions_and_methods:
aliases: [cond]
returnType: any
signatures: [compare.Conditional CONTROL ARG1 ARG2]
aliases: [/functions/cond]
---
If CONTROL is truthy the function returns ARG1, otherwise it returns ARG2.
```go-html-template
{{ $qty := 42 }}
{{ cond (le $qty 3) "few" "many" }} → many
```
Unlike [ternary operators] in other languages, the `compare.Conditional` function does not perform [short-circuit evaluation]. It evaluates both ARG1 and ARG2 regardless of the CONTROL value.
[short-circuit evaluation]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation
[ternary operators]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator
Due to the absence of short-circuit evaluation, these examples throw an error:
```go-html-template
{{ cond true "true" (div 1 0) }}
{{ cond false (div 1 0) "false" }}
```
