Q.Write a C program to illustrate the conditional operator.

#include<stdio.h>  
void main()  
{  
    int a=4, b=5, result1, result2;  
    result1 = a>b? a:b;  
    printf("The  result1=%d\h",result1);  
    result2 = a<b? a:b;  
    printf("The  result2=%d\h",result2);  
}  

The conditional (ternary) operator expression ? value1 : value2 yields value1 when the expression is true and value2 when it is false, so it selects one of two values in a single statement. …

[!TLDR]

The ternary operator ?: picks one of two values based on a condition; here it selects the larger value into result1 and the smaller into result2.

The conditional operator takes three operands and has the general form:

expression ? value1 : value2

If the expression is true the whole expression takes value1, otherwise it takes value2. Tracing with a = 4 and b = 5:

• result1 = a>b ? a : b; : 4>5 is false, so result1 = b = 5.
• result2 = a<b ? a : b; : 4<5 is true, so result2 = a = 4.

A complete, corrected version is:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int a = 4, b = 5, result1, result2;
    result1 = a > b ? a : b;
    printf("The  result1=%d\n", result1);
    result2 = a < b ? a : b;
    printf("The  result2=%d\n", result2);
    return 0;
}
