ternärer operator java

In Java, the ternary operator (also known as the conditional operator) is a shorthand way of writing an if-else statement. The ternary operator takes three operands: a condition, a value to be returned if the condition is true, and a value to be returned if the condition is false.

Here's an example of how to use the ternary operator in Java:

int x = 10;
int y = 20;

int max = (x > y) ? x : y;

In this example, the ternary operator compares the values of x and y and returns the maximum value. If the condition (x > y) is true, the value of x is returned. If the condition is false, the value of y is returned.

The ternary operator can be used as a shorter alternative to an if-else statement:

int max;
if (x > y) {
    max = x;
} else {
    max = y;
}

You can find more information about the ternary operator and how to use it in Java in the Java documentation.
