Tenary condition operator

[mwilliams]

Question about tenary condition operator. Example is below which used a tenary condition. Not sure why someone would someone use it. Is this used in Java? Also wondering if someone could show me how this would normally be done?

circle(g, (nState == 5) ? Color.red : Color.red.darker(), 150, 100);
circle(g, (nState == 7) ? Color.orange : Color.orange.darker(), 150, 150);

Have a look here : Java Ternary Operator

You can use Google as well and find out many more resources related to the same.

Hope that helps,

Im not sure what you mean, a ternary operator is basically a short hand for if else clauses.

[DarrylBurke]

A ternary operator is a shorter statement used instead of the if then else statements

If then else structure:

if(condition)
stemnet1;
else
statement2;

The above can be replaced by
condition?statemnet1:statemnet2;

No, it can't.

Ternary operator can be used in this way.

Not in the way you showed at #4, it can't. The second and third arguments to the ternary are value expressions not statements.

That's not what the other poster said; it is supposed to work with stemnets and statemnets. Personally I've never seen a stemnet (nor a statemnet) so I can't judge here ;-)

kind regards,

This is by far the funniest (out of so many) comments I have seen from you Jos.

I almost fell down from my chair after reading this. :D It was just too much for me to handle!

By the way, this was my previous favorite ;)

What do you get by pointing out typographical errors in that way?

The giggles, why ask?
