Set a variable with multiple IF statements with Apps Script

Question

I'm trying to set a variable that needs to concatenate certain pieces of string if certain conditions are met. I have tried:

var A; 
  if (B == "Waiting for access") {"Aria POS\n"}
  if (C == "Waiting for access") {"CBS\n"};

I have also tried:

var A =
   (B === "Waiting for access") ? "Aria POS\n" : "" +
   (C === "Waiting for access") ? "CBS\n" : "" ;

but this only returns the 1st string Aria POS without the 2nd string

The script need variable assignment. In ternary operator, it may help to enclose parentheses for multiple conditions. You could put on different line for readability.

As an example:

var A = ""; 
A += (B === "Waiting for access") ? "Aria POS\n" : "";
A += (C === "Waiting for access") ? "CBS\n" : "";

It logs the strings but also ads undefined to it: ``` undefinedAria POS CBS ```

Because A is undefined at initialization. To fix that, simply initialize var A = "";.
