    Default Java syntax I don't understand - assignment

    Greets,

    I have seen this syntax numerous times and I'm unsure how it works.
    Java Code: 
    double theta = tipHigh ? -Math.PI/2 : thetaInc;
    could someone enlighten me?

    thanks

    Default

    It is short hand for:

    Java Code: 
    double theta;
if(tipHigh == true)
{
   theta = -Math.PI/2;
}
else
{
   theta = thetaInc;
}
