ternary operator

the suspicious one

<% @users.each do |a_user| %>
  <tr>
    <td><%= a_user.username %></td>
    <td><%= a_user.private ? "Yes" : "No" %></td>

a_user.private == true ? "Yes" : "No"
also works, but since private is boolean already, and ternary is testing boolean, can just edit it out

meaning: if a_user's private key is assigned value true, prints out yes. if not, prints out no
