Why can't I use the ternary ? operator to select between two function calls?

Question

I was recently programming and ran into an issue using the ? : operand. Here\'s my code.

    Random rand = new Random();
    for(int x = 0; x < 3; x++) {

The compiler is right. The ternary operator returns something, so you need to assign it to a variable.
