ternary-operator

Is there a IIf equivalent in C# ? Or similar shortcut? C# has the ? ternary operator, like other C-style languages. However, this is not perfectly equivalent to IIf() ; there are two important differences. To explain the first difference, the false-part argument for this IIf() call causes a DivideByZeroException , even though the boolean argument is True . IIf(true, 1, 1/0) IIf() is just a function, and like all functions all the arguments must be evaluated before the call is made. Put another way, IIf() does not short circuit in the traditional sense. On the other hand, this ternary

In C/C++ (and many languages of that family), a common idiom to declare and initialize a variable depending on a condition uses the ternary conditional operator : int index = val > 0 ? val : -val Go doesn't have the conditional operator. What is the most idiomatic way to implement the same piece of code as above ? I came to the following solution, but it seems quite verbose var index int if val > 0 { index = val } else { index = -val } Is there something better ? As pointed out (and hopefully unsurprisingly), using if+else is indeed the idiomatic way to do conditionals in Go. In addition to

I want to convert following if else condition to nested ternary operator. if ($projectURL) { echo $projectURL; } elseif ($project['project_url']) { echo $project['project_url']; } else { echo $project['project_id']; } I have written like following. echo ($projectURL)?$projectURL:($project['project_url'])?$project['project_url']: $project['project_id']; But it is found as not working properly.Is this not a right way? Ternary operators are tricky thing in PHP, as they are left-associative (unlike all other languages, where it's right-associative). You will need to use parenthesis to tell PHP

I want to do a comparison such as: if <field> == 0 then "-" Can somebody tell me the syntax using JasperReports? iReport (JasperReports) uses a Ternary operator . For example, consider the following logic: IF boolean condition THEN execute true code ELSE execute false code END IF Using a ternary operator, this becomes: boolean condition ? execute true code : execute false code When using a variable with the following expression: $F{column_value}.intValue() == 42 ? "Life, Universe, Everything" : "Naught" Then the variable's value would be "Life, Universe, Everything" if, and only if, the

I am trying to use the conditional operator, but I am getting hung up on the type it thinks the result should be. Below is an example that I have contrived to show the issue I am having: class Program { public static void OutputDateTime(DateTime? datetime) { Console.WriteLine(datetime); } public static bool IsDateTimeHappy(DateTime datetime) { if (DateTime.Compare(datetime, DateTime.Parse("1/1")) == 0) return true; return false; } static void Main(string[] args) { DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Now; OutputDateTime(IsDateTimeHappy(myDateTime) ? null : myDateTime); Console.ReadLine(); ^ } | } |

I use ternary operators alot but I can't seem to stack multiple ternary operator inside each other. I am aware that stacking multiple ternary operator would make the code less readable but in some case I would like to do it. This is what I've tried so far : $foo = 1; $bar = ( $foo == 1 ) ? "1" : ( $foo == 2 ) ? "2" : "other"; echo $bar; // display 2 instead of 1 What is the correct syntax ? Those parenthesis are what I think is getting you. Try $foo = 1; $bar = ($foo == 1) ? "1" : (($foo == 2) ? "2" : "other"); echo $bar; The problem is that PHP, unlike all other languages , makes the
