inline conditional in matlab

In MATLAB, the inline conditional operator can be used to assign values to a variable based on a condition. The general syntax is as follows:

main.m
variable = condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false

2 lines

For example:

main.m
x = 5;
y = x > 3 ? 10 : 20; % if x > 3, then y = 10, else y = 20
65 chars
3 lines

This is equivalent to the following if-else statement:

main.m
x = 5;
if x > 3
    y = 10;
else
    y = 20;
end

Note that the inline conditional can only be used for simple conditions and expressions. For more complex logic, it is better to use a standard if-else statement.
