Cheater, what if you had a multi line if statement

can you still use the ternary operator?

It depends what's in the statement. The ternary operator is mainly for setting booleans.

You can wrap a function around it or set something equal to it, but it must be a bool.

Oh, i see.

So it would need to be a true or false statement in order to use the ternary operator.

Ok, that makes sense, and does keep the coding lines minimum, but i could see places where this funciton might not be as neccessary.

Very handy tho

Thanks!

Oh I get it.

Jk. Lol Wut?

Isnt this all about: If this condtion is true, then do this, if it isnt then do this. So the statements of if, then, if.


I think its also difficult use this if there are many if/else statements in the logic, right? So if you have a code that needs too be often updated; it is not the best choice?


The trick should be to using the ternary operator to understand that a value is returned by the expression and that the value must be handled as you would handle a value-returned by a function or subroutine;;;

Depends but if you had multiple if statement you could just use a Switch statement but that also varies depending how specific the cases are.

This is very cool. I may use it in a few tools that i wish to make sometime.

However, the high-level ternary statement is useful because it allows you to condense multiple if-statements and reduce nesting. It does not actually eliminate branching but simplifies the high-level representation of the branching at the level of the source code.

Holy Bump :/
