What is the ternary operator in Pearl?

Overview

In Pearl, we use ternary operators so we don't have to use the if-else statement. The operator makes the codes look nice and clean, which makes them easy to understand.

One of the most apparent important use of a ternary operator is that it replaces the use of the if-else state in a more clean, readable, and short form.

Syntax

Parameters

• cond: This is the code/expression whose output defines the value that is used.

• The value after the ? is returned if the condition returns true.

• The value after the : is returned if the condition returns false.

Example

Explanation

• Line 1: We use the ternary operator to check if 1 is equal to 0. This is definitely false, and that's why the wrong message displays.
