if/else vs ternary operator

Question

Considering the evaluation time, are following two equivalent?

if(condition1)
{
    //code1
}
else
{
    //code2
}

condition1 ? code

Answer 1

Well ... In the former case, you can have any amount or type (expression vs statement) of code in place of code1 and code2. In the latter case, they must be valid expressions.
