Subject: conditional variable assignment from array

one of my methods receives  a sort parameter either as

params =>  {"sort"=>{"criteria"=>"1"} }
OR
params =>  {"sort"=>"1"}

presently,  I assign a variable @sc as follows :

params[:sort].nil? ? @sc = "1" : @sc = params[:sort][:criteria]

how can I assign @sc to params[:sort][:criteria] OR params[:sort]  
whatever received... ?

tfyh
