❔ Cleanest way to initialize string outside of conditional statement where it's assigned?

string str = "" if(something) { str = "a" } else { str = "b" } Is this the cleanest way? or is there a better way to expose the str outside of conditional scope without this dirty empty string initialization

REPL Result: Success

string s;
if (true)
{
    s = "a";
}
else
{
    s = "b";
}
s

string s;
if (true)
{
    s = "a";
}
else
{
    s = "b";
}
s

Result: string

var str = condition ? “This value if true” : “This value if false”;

a ternary works too in this case, I assumed you had more stuff going on in the if
