Question

rewrite using ternary operator if (a<b) { c=(a+b); else c=(a-b); }​

Answer 1

Answer:   if and else in C

From here, the real coding part begins. Gear up to travel to the next part of coding. This will be a lot of fun.

Many times, we need to first see the condition and then make a decision.

As an example, consider that a chocolate costs 10 rupees. So, if you have 10 rupees or more, you can buy the chocolate.

if and else in c

But how do we represent this scenario in C?

This type of decision taking is done by using if statement in C.

if statement

Let's consider an example.

#include <stdio.h>

{

int a = 5;

int b = 5;

if (a==b)

{

printf ( a and b are equal\n);

}

return 0;

}

Output :

if (a==b) → a==b is the condition. Conditions are written inside '()'. Here, condition is true (will return 1). Since the condition is true, statements inside if will be executed.  {} after if represents the body of if. Whatever is written inside '{}' is part of if.

So, the flow is that first the condition of if is checked and if it is true then statement(s) inside if are executed.

Answer 2

c = a < b ? a + b : a - b;  

Basic syntax for a ternary operator is:

• variable = Condition ? Expression 2 : Expression 3
• The above statement means- If condition is true then execute Expression 1 else execute expression 2 and store the result in the variable.

• Hence the answer becomes-  c = a < b ? a + b : a - b;  
• c = if condition  (a<b) ? then a + b : else a - b ;
