Java ternary operator

Today i have learned about ternary operator in java. Before this, when i found it in java code, i will ask myself what it is and what we call it...now i will share with you what i understand about ternary operator.Now, see java code below


************************************************************
COMPLETE SOURCE CODE FOR : JavaTernaryOperator.java
************************************************************


public class JavaTernaryOperator
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
int a=0;
int b=4;
int c=5;

//THIS IS EXAMPLE OF TERNARY OPERATOR
a=(b>c?b:c);

System.out.println(a);
}
}


************************************************************
JUST COMPILE AND EXECUTE IT
************************************************************

In the java code above, example of ternary operator is a=(b>c?b:c);.So, what it mean ?

This is the answer :
Value a is equal to b if b larger than c or value a is equal to c if b smaller than c.So, java code above has same meaning with java code below.


public class JavaTernaryOperator
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
int a=0;
int b=4;
int c=5;

if(b>c)
{
 a=b;
}
else
{
 a=c;
}

System.out.println(a);
}
}


Now, you can choose which one you want to use when write your java program. It seem when we use ternary operator we can make our program more shorter.
