Stupid(?) question

[dctr]

Hi everyone. I only do JS for a couple of weeks now and could not find out, why the code

  this.show = function(username, cb) {
    var command = username ? "/users/"+username : "/user";

    _request("GET", command, null, function(err, res) {
      cb(err, res);
    });
  };

Works with

  ....show('dctr', myFunc);

and with

  ....show(myFunc);

Why doesn't command evaluate to something absurd and cb fails but myFunc is called in both cases? At least i would have expected something like

  cb = username ? cb : username;

Thanks in advance for anwers...

Actually this is a good question. This is not supposed to work when called with one param.

Something like this should do it:

this.show = function(username, cb) {
    var path = cb ? "/users/"+username : "/user";
    cb = cb ? cb : username;
    _request("GET", path, null, function(err, res) {
      cb(err, res);
    });
};

Strange thing, but as mentioned above, both work...
