Blogger Ternary Operator

?: or ternary condition is the only operator that takes three argument. Like the Selectors, the first is a comparison argument, the second is the result upon a true comparison, and the third is the result upon a false comparison. This operator is frequently used as a shortcut for the if / else statement. An expression Baz ? Foo : Bar will evaluates to Foo if the value of a is true, and otherwise to Bar.

[Baz ? Foo : Bar] In this operator, the first operand must be Boolean. The last two operands can be of any type. One of the two will be the final result of the operation depending on the result of the first operand.
