What is the Java ?: operator called and what does it do?

Question

I have been working with Java a couple of years, but up until recently I haven\'t run across this construct:

int count = isHere ? getHereCount(index) : getAw         


        

Answer 1

Yes, you are correct. ?: is typically called the "ternary conditional operator", often referred to as simply "ternary operator". It is a shorthand version of the standard if/else conditional.
