ternary operator in matlab

Question

is there a way of typing for if like:

var = (cond) ? true : false;

or do we have to use this format?

if (cond)
 true
else
          


        

Answer 1

I use this style frequently:

cond = what < ever;

n = getfield([23,42], {1+(what < ever)}) % for any 1x1-data
s = cell2mat(getfield({'no','yes'}, {1+(what < ever)})) % for nonuniform

it's compact enough to not require a helper function
