Java conditional operator ?: result type

Question

I\'m a bit puzzled about the conditional operator. Consider the following two lines:

Float f1 = false? 1.0f: null;
Float f2 = false? 1.0f: false? 1.0f: null;         


        

Answer 1

To be or not to be, that is the question. :)

Edit: Actually, looking closer it seems that this case is actually a mix between the Hamlet (ternary operator and wrapped integral types) and the Elvis (auto-unboxing null) puzzlers. In any case, I can only recommend watching the video, it is very educational and enjoyable.
