…can be written using a conditional, aka ternary, operator (?:), like this:

var work:String = "monotonou";
if (work == "monotonous") {
   activity = "update blog";
}else{
   activity = "continue working";
};
trace(activity); //outputs 'update blog'

var work:String = "monotonous";
activity = (work == "monotonous") ? "update blog" : "continue working";
trace(activity); //outputs 'update blog'
