[Guide] Basic JS: Ternary operator. Fixes and enhancements (#22633)

1. Fix code solution (it used the assignment operator to compare _a_ and _b_ instead of the comparison one; which wouldn't pass the test at the exercise page).
2. Add problem explanation, hint, code explanation, run example and resources

## Use the Conditional (Ternary) Operator
### Hint 1
Use ternary operator to check for equality.
### Problem explanation:
_Use the `conditional operator` in the `checkEqual` function to check if two numbers are equal or not. The function should return either true or false._
### Warning Solution Ahead!!!
#### Hint 1
Remember that the "traditional" `if...else` syntax can be re-written using the conditional operator (`condition ? statement if true : statement if false;`)

## Spoiler alert!
**Solution ahead!**
## Code solution:
```javascript
function checkEqual(a, b) {
return (a == b ? true : false );
return a === b ? true : false;
}
checkEqual(1, 2);
```

### Code explanation
- The function checks if the `condition` before the interrogation sign (`?`) is true, and if so, executes the `true` statement. Otherwise, it returns `false`.
