Answer 1

If you want to assign a variable to outside of if-else block, you can use ternary operator which represented by the : operator.

For example, the standard if-else Java expression:

int money;
if (shouldReceiveBonus()) {
    price = 100;
}
else {
    price = 50;
}

With ternary operator is equivalent to:

int money = shouldReceiveBonus() ? 100 : 50;
