C# Ternary Operator
C# includes a decision-making operator ?: which is called the conditional operator or ternary operator. It is the short form of the if else conditions. Syntax: condition ? statement 1 : statement 2 The ternary operator starts with a boolean condition. If this condition evaluates to true then it will execute the first statement after ? , otherwise the second statement after : will be executed. The following example demonstrates the ternary operator. Example: Ternary operator int x = 20, y = 10; var result = x > y ? "x is greater than y" : "x is less than y" ; Console .WriteLine(result); Try it output: x is greater than y Above, a conditional expression x > y returns true, so the first statement after ? will be execute.
