Conditional/Ternary Operator ?

Conditional/Ternary Operator ?:

A ternary operator operates on 3 operands which can be used instead of a if...elsestatement.

Consider this code:

if ( a < b ) {
   a = b;
}
else {
   a = -b;
}

You can replace the above code with:

a = (a < b) ? b : -b;

The ternary operator is more readable than a if...else statement for short conditions.
