[JavaDreams]

In the below code what is the meaning of this line.

• return(i<=j) ? i : j ;

public static int minimum(int i,int j)
{
return(i<=j) ? i : j ;
}

What does this question mark means, please explain!!

?: is the ternary conditional operator. Its form is:
condition ? value-if-true : value-if-false

In your example, the method evaluates i <= j, and returns i if it is true, or j if it is false.
