Ternary Operator

Ternary operator or ?: operator

The ternary operator is also known as a conditional operator.

The conditional operator works like this :

Exp 1 ? Exp 2 : Exp 3;

• Here,
• If expression 1 is true then expression 2 is executed.
• If expression 1 is false then expression 3 is executed.

Example :

#include <stdio.h>

int a=1, b ;
b = ( x ==1 ? 2 : 0 ) ;
printf(“Value of a is %d\n”, a);
printf(“Value of b is  %d”, b);
return 0;
}

Output :

Value of a is 1
Value of b is 2
