What is the conditional operator?

The conditional operator ?:, commonly known as the ternary conditional operator, evaluates a Boolean expression, and returns the result of evaluating one of two expressions, depending on whether the Boolean expression evaluates to true or false.

Here's the basic form:

<evaluate this condition> ? <if condition is true, return this value> : <if condition is false, return this value>

Recap

You should remember the following about the conditional operator:

• Use the conditional operator when you need to add branching logic inline.
• Use the conditional operator when you need to return a value based on a binary condition ... return this when true, return that when false.
