Hi there,

Any sample to do nested ternary. Interesting!

Thanks.

int a = 1;

int b = 2;

int c = 3;

int d = 4;

int e = 5;

int f = 5;

int g = 5;

int r;

r = (a<b) ? (c<d) ? e : f : g;

It returns 5

You can nest them, but it's not usually good for readability.

Console.WriteLi ne((i < 0) ? "negative" : ((i > 0) ? "positive" :
"zero"));

True but Im trying to write a single expression to check for collison
between 3d objects its already a nightmare!!!

I wouldn't create such constructs at all - totally unreadable (even this is
only a sample).

Hi,

It's kind of how you can traverse a matrix using a single for in C :)
I still remember the first time I delivered a homework with that in the
univ. the teacher gave me a 2 ( suspense in Cuba's grades ) just for that :)

It's better using two lines of code, or at least separate them in more than
one line, and use parentesis.
Cheers,

Hi,

Then make it the most readable possible something like:

r = (a<b) ?
(c<d) ? e : f
: g;

With one condition per line, instead of all in the same line.

Cheers,

As the assert macro should evaluate to a void expression, it should not have an 'if statement' in its definition. Does this necessitate the existence of a ternary conditional operator? Is there a way assert.h can be implemented without using it? Are these decisions related in anyway?

In his paper on Coding Standard found on http://www.idesign.net/idesign/DesktopDefault.aspx Juval Lowy discourages the use of the ternary conditional operator with no specific reason given. I can understand that complicated code would be much less readable using nested operators, but aside from that is there another reason? -- something going on under the hood perhaps which make it inadvisable to use?

Hi - I'm running Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) on win32, and have a script that makes numerous checks on text files, (configuration files), so discrepancies can be reported. The script works fine but it appears that I may have hit a wall with 'if' statements. Due to the number of checks perfromed by the script on the text files, (over 500), there are quite a few 'if' statements in the script, (over 1150). It seems that it...

hi,,, while ago i was wondering why do some programmers rarely uses the ternary operator. wherein it is less typing indeed. i believe in the classic virtue of Perl which is laziness. well let me show you something first before i go to my delimma. codes as follows using Mrs. If Else: #!perl/bin/perl use strict; print "Are you sure you want to quit ('yes' or any key for 'no'): "; chomp($_ = <STDIN>);

The docs say: A suite can be one or more semicolon-separated simple statements on the same line as the header, following the header's colon, or it can be one or more indented statements on subsequent lines. Only the latter form of suite can contain nested compound statements; the following is illegal, mostly because it wouldn't be clear to which if clause a following else clause would belong: if test1: if test2: print x
