Conditional Operators Versus If Else Statements

I'd like to ask if it is possible to use conditional operators
var = condition ? var1 : var 2
To do the same job as the if-else statements I wrote in red below:
<p id="text">change text colour</p>
<br />
<a onclick="allsorting();">sort in both ascending & descending orders</a>
<div></div>
<script>
/* if & else */
function changetext(){
document.getElementById('text').onclick = function (){
swapcolour(this);
}}
function swapcolour(text){
if(text.style.color == 'black'){
text.style.color = 'red';
} else {text.style.color = 'black'}
} window.onload = changetext;
</script>
