The Conditional Operator in C, also called a Ternary operator, is one of the Operators, which used in the decision-making process. The C Programming Conditional Operator returns the statement depends upon the given expression result.
The basic syntax of a Ternary Operator in C Programming is as shown below:
Test_expression ? statement1: statement2
From the above syntax, If the given test condition is true, then it returns statement1, and if it is false, statement2 will return.
Conditional Operator in C Example
In this program, we use the Conditional Operator to find whether the person is eligible to vote or not.
/* Ternary Operator in C Example */
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int age;
printf(" Please Enter your age here: \n ");
scanf(" %d ", &age);
(age >= 18) ? printf(" You are eligible to Vote ") :
printf(" You are not eligible to Vote ");
return 0;
}
ANALYSIS
This Ternary Operator in c program allows the user to enter his or her age and assign the user entered integer value to age variable. If the user entered value is 18 or above, the C Programming will print the first statement after the ? symbol.
printf(" You are eligible to Vote ")
If the user enters below 18, the second statement (which is after the : symbol) will print.
printf(" You are not eligible to Vote ")
Let us try with a different value to test the conditional Operator.
