What is Ternary?
The ternary operator, written as condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false, is a compact way to write a simple if-else expression that returns a value. It is the only operator in C that takes three operands. Overusing it for complex conditions can hurt readability, so it works best for short, simple choices.
