Program Example 5.10:

Java program to implement the Ternary Operator

int a = 10; Chapter Five: Object oriented programming with Java
FOR ONLINE READING ONLY
int b = 20;

// Using the ternary operator to determine the larger of two numbers
int max = (a > b) ? a : b;
System.out.println(“The maximum value is “ + max);

Output: The maximum value is 20

(g) Conditional operator ( ? : )
Since the conditional operator has three operands, it is referred as the ternary
operator.

This operator consists of three operands and is used to evaluate Boolean expressions.
The goal of the operator is to decide, which value should be assigned to the variable.
The operator is written as – variable x = (expression) ? value if true : value if false

Program Example 5.11:

Java program to implement the Conditional Operator

public class example{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a, b;
a = 10;
b = (a == 0) ? 20: 30;
System.out.println( “b : “ + b );
}
}
