What does this mean?

Hi!

I'm not an expert on Javascript, can you tell what does the following code means:


( p1.length == a + 1 ) ? pass = base : false;


Thanks

It's shorthand for:
if the length of the string, p1, is equal to the value of a + 1, then the variable, pass, equals the variable, base; otherwise return "false".
or

if (p1.length==a+1) {
    pass=base;
} else {
    false;
}

Its a conditional. An alternate way of writing an If statement. It reads:

If p1.length is equal to a+1 then pass equals base otherwise false
