Question

What is x after evaluating?

x=(2>3) ? 2 : 3;
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. none of the above

Answer 1

3

Step-by-step explanation:

In programming, there is a lot of conditional operators.

like NOT (&&) operator, OR (||) operator.

similarly, there is an operator called the ternary operator. It takes three operands and it behaves like the if-else statement.

syntax:

(condition) ? expression 1 : expression 2;

Working:

If the condition is true, then it executes the expression 1 and if the condition is false, then it executes the expression 2.

let see the Question,

x=(2>3) ? 2 : 3;

the condition (2 > 3) is false, 2 always less than 3 not greater than 3.

Therefore, it executes the value 3 and assigns to x.
