5.5.5.Ternary operator

Ternary operators return values based on the outcomes of relational expressions.

The general form of the ternary operator is:

(expr 1) ? expr2 : expr3

If expr1 returns true then the value of expr2 is returned as a result; otherwise the value of expr3 is returned.

#include<stdio.h>



main(){

  int i= 2;

  int j= 3;



  int k = ( i>j ) ? i : j;



  printf("\n k = %d",k);



}

If i > j then k will get the value equal to i, otherwise it will get the value equal to j.
