I’m working on my codegolfing skills and was wondering, what is the
shortest possible way to write the following in ruby:
if a==0
1
else
2
end
Thanks for the help!

a==0?1:2

if a will only have values 0 or 1 you could use
2**a
if a is always positive you could use
a>0?2:1
cheers.

In that case:
a+1
