Ternary Operator
The Ternary Operator in C
In C, there's a shorthand for the if-else
statement known as the ternary operator, represented by ?:
.
(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:
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
?
For comparison, here's how the same logic looks using the if...else
statement:
if (a > b)
{
c = a;
}
else
{
c = b;
}
Note
While the ternary operator is a concise way to express conditionals, it's best to avoid it in complex structures. It can make the code harder to read for your teammates (though perhaps not for your instructor).
