Ternary Operator in C
#If any operator is used on three operands or variable is known as Ternary Operator. It can be represented with ? : . It is also called as conditional operator
Advantage of Ternary Operator
Using ?: reduce the number of line codes and improve the performance of application.
Syntax
expression-1 ? expression-2 : expression-3
In the above symbol expression-1 is condition and expression-2 and expression-3 will be either value or variable or statement or any mathematical expression. If condition will be true expression-2 will be execute otherwise expression-3 will be executed.
Syntax
a<b ? printf("a is less") : printf("a is greater");
Flow Diagram
Find largest number among 3 numbers using ternary operator
Example
#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a, b, c, large; clrscr(); printf("Enter any three number: "); scanf("%d%d%d",&a,&b,&c); large=a>b ? (a>c?a:c) : (b>c?b:c); printf("Largest Number is: %d",large); getch(); }
Output
Enter any three number: 5 7 2 Largest number is 7
