The ternary operator in Swift is also called "conditional operator" and it's a shorthand for an if-else
statement. The general syntax is as follows:
main.swift45 chars2 lines
Here's an example on how to use the ternary operator in Swift:
main.swift98 chars4 lines
In the code above, we're using the ternary operator to check if age
is greater than or equal to 18
. If it is true, then the value of message
will be "You are an adult". Otherwise, it will be "You are not an adult".
Note that although the ternary operator can make your code more concise, it can also make it harder to read, especially when used with complex expressions. Therefore, use it judiciously and only when it improves the readability of the code.
