Since i know the operator ? my life changed.

Does the ternary operator cause you to "question" your programming choices?

@s0LA

It returns a value and allows assignment of the result to a variable. Quite different than if/else. Logically similar, but very handy for conditional assignments.

I use it to reduce lines of codes when you just need a if for 1 thing.

Like:

myName = value ! = null ? value : "Unknown";

int i = a > 1 ? a : 1; // assigns to i

if(a > 1) i = a; else i = 1; // i has to be explicitly assigned

Ternary is much more convenient for short conditional assignments.

@s0LA My syntactic sugar is better than your syntactic sugar! 😉
