What is ternary operator ?

Ternary operator is the operator is used similarly as if-else conditions.

If-else condition :-
Syntax ::
If(condition)
Statement 1;
Else
Statement 2;

It means when the condition given in "IF" will be true then "STATEMENT 1" will execute otherwise when condition is false then "STATEMENT 2" will execute.

Ternary Operator :-
Syntax ::
Condition ? Statement 1 : Statement 2 ;
Here,
First we write condition, then put a question mark (?), then write statement 1, then put a colon (:), then write statement 2, then finally put a semicolon (;).

When condition is true then statement 1 will execute otherwise statement 2 will execute.

Example :- To find whether the number is even or odd.

Method 1 - By using if-else
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int x;
puts("Enter the number");
scanf("%d",&x);
if(x%2==0)
puts("even")
else
puts("odd");
}

Method 2 - By using ternary operator
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int x;
puts("Enter the number");
scanf("%d",&x);
x%2==0?puts("even"):puts("odd");
}
