Solidity Programming Language – Ternary Operator

In Solidity, the ternary operator is used to write concise conditional statements.

Use Case:

• Suitable for simple, one-liner conditions where you want to assign a value based on the condition.
• Concise and often used for straightforward assignments.

Here’s an example to illustrate its usage:

Considerations:

• Readability: Ternary operators are more concise but can be less readable if the condition and expressions are complex. If-else statements provide more structure for complex conditions.
• Multiple Statements: If your conditional logic involves more than one statement for each branch, an if-else statement might be more suitable, as it allows you to use multiple lines of code within each block.
• Gas Costs: Generally, the difference in gas costs between the two approaches is minimal. However, complex conditions and multiple statements may affect gas costs, so it’s important to consider optimization.
