Conditional Expression

At times, we may need to assign different values to a variable based on specific conditions. Achieving this efficiently can be done in just one line of code. Let's explore a few approaches to grasp this concept more effectively.

Example 1:


              123456789
            
age = 23
status = ''

if age >= 18:
  status = 'Adult'
else:
  status = 'Not adult'

print(status)

Example 2:


              12345
            
age = 15

status = 'Adult' if age >= 18 else 'Not Adult'

print(status)

Have you observed the distinction? The second method is not only more elegant but also more convenient, condensing it into just one line instead of four!

Conditional expressions, also known as Python's ternary operator, act as decision-making tools and adhere to the following syntax:
