Conditional operator in C | Ternary Operator in C

Conditional operator/ternary operator has three operands. It is represented as ?: . It tests a condition and depending upon condition, specific  instruction gets executed .

Syntax:

Condition? Statement: Statement2;

Condition represents a condition made using relational or logical operators.

Statement1 represents the statement to be executed if condition is true.

Statement2 represents the statement to be executed if condition is false.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=11,b=5,c;
c=a>b?a:b;
printf("\nLargest value=%d",c);
return (0);
}

Largest value=11

In the above program, expression c=a>b?a:b is evaluated.

Variable a contains 11 and b contains 5

Condition a>b is true, so statement after question mark (?) will be evaluated and c will contain value of a i.e. 11.
