Ternary Operator

Desliza para mostrar el menú

There's a shorthand for the if-else statement known as the ternary operator.

(condition) ? value_if_true : value_if_false

You can use this operator when you want to assign one of two values to a variable based on a condition. For instance, to determine the larger of two variables:

main.c

main.c


              
12345

            
int a = 10; 
int b = 4;
int c;
	
c = a > b ? a : b;

After executing the above statement, what will be the value of c?

ternary operator

For comparison, here's how the same logic looks using the if...else statement.

main.c

main.c


              
123456

            
if (a > b) {
	c = a;
}
else {
	c = b;
}

While the ternary operator is a concise way to express conditionals, it's best to avoid it in too complex structures.
