Ternary operators in C#

Question

With the ternary operator, it is possible to do something like the following (assuming Func1() and Func2() return an int:

int x = (x == y) ? Func1() : Func2(         


        

Answer 1

I don't think so. As far as I remember, the ternary operator is used in an expression context and not as a statement. The compiler needs to know the type for the expression and void is not really a type.

You could try to define a function for this:

void iif(bool condition, Action a, Action b)
{
    if (condition) a(); else b();
}

And then you could call it like this:

iif(x > y, Func1, Func2);

But this does not really make your code any clearer...
