Example how you can convert data without branching

no-branching.ts

// function with branching
function giveAppleOrOrange(condition) {
  if (condition) {
    return 'apple';
  } else {
    return 'orange';
  }
}

// function without branching
function giveAppleOrOrange(condition) {
  const apple = [97,112,112,108,101]; // apple
  const orange = [111,114,97,110,103,101]; // orange

  const appleFlag = condition | 0;
  const orangeFlag = 1 - appleFlag;

  const trueApple = apple.map(n => n * appleFlag);
  const trueOrange = orange.map(n => n * orangeFlag);
  const res = trueOrange.map((a, i) => a | trueApple[i]);
  const resStr = res.map(n => String.fromCharCode(n)).join('');

  return resStr;
}
