inline if statement in csharp

In C#, you can use the conditional operator "?" to create an inline if statement, also known as a ternary operator.

The syntax of an inline if statement in C# is as follows:

main.cs
result = (condition) ? trueValue : falseValue;
47 chars
2 lines

Here, "condition" is the expression that evaluates to a Boolean value, "trueValue" is the value to assign if the condition is true, and "falseValue" is the value to assign if the condition is false.

Here's an example:

main.cs
int number = 10;
string result = (number > 5) ? "Greater than 5" : "Less than or equal to 5";
Console.WriteLine(result);
121 chars
4 lines

In this example, if the condition "number > 5" is true, the value "Greater than 5" will be assigned to the variable "result", otherwise the value "Less than or equal to 5" will be assigned.

The inline if statement is a concise way to express conditional logic in C#, especially when assigning values to variables or properties inline. However, it's important to use it judiciously to maintain readability and avoid excessive complexity.
