Are multiple conditional operators in this situation a good idea?

Question

I just saw this block of code on the Wikipedia article on conditional operators:

Vehicle new_vehicle = arg == \'B\' ? bus      :
                      arg ==         


        

Answer 1

How about:

enum Vehicle { bus = 'B', airplane = 'A', train, car = 'C', horse = 'H', feet = 'F' };
...
new_vehicle = arg;

:-), by the way.
