It's most commonly used in assignment operations, although it has other uses as well. The ternary operator ? is a way of shortening an if-else clause, and is also called an immediate-if statement in other languages (IIf(condition,true-clause,false-clause) in VB, for example). For example: bool Three = SOME_VALUE;
Jun 7, 2011 · Actually ternary is the type of operator (i.e. it has 3 parts). The name of that specific ternary operator is the conditional operator. There just happens to only be one ternary operator in JS so the terms get misused. –
The If operator in VB.NET 2008 is a ternary operator (as well as a null coalescence operator). This was just introduced, prior to 2008 this was not available. Here's some more info: Visual Basic If announcement. Example: Prior to 2008 it was IIf, which worked almost identically to the If operator described Above.
Jul 10, 2015 · @Damien_The_Unbeliever That's technically true, but it's often called ternary operator.

Dec 27, 2008 · As already answered, yes, there is a ternary operator in Python: <expression 1> if <condition> else <expression 2>. In many cases <expression 1> is also used as Boolean evaluated <condition>. Then you can use short-circuit evaluation. a = 0.
Jul 23, 2020 · 10. The ternary operator in just about every language works as an inline if statement: Console.WriteLine((five == 5) ?
