Conditional operator in C
Conditional operator in C is also known as ternary operator. It is called ternary operator because it takes three arguments. It evaluates an expression returning a value if that expression is true and different one if the expression is evaluated as false.
Syntax:
condition ? result1 : result2;
If the condition is true, result1 is returned else result2 is returned.
Examples:
10==5 ? 11: 12; // returns 12, since 10 not equal to 5. 10!=5 ? 4 : 3; // returns 4, since 10 not equal to 5. 12>8 ? a : b; // returns the value of a, since 12 is greater than 8.
Program in C using Conditional or Ternary operator
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
c = (a < b)? a : b;
printf(ā%dā, c);
}
Output:
10
In the above program, if the value of a is less than b then the value of a would be assigned to the variable b. Else, the value of b would be assigned to variable c. In this case, the value of a is 10 and value of b is 11 i.e., a < b is true. Hence, the value of a i.e., 10 will be assigned to variable c.
You may also want to read if-else statement in C, an alternative to the conditional or ternary operator
there is error showing in printf
int c, a=5, b=4;
c=a<b?a:b;
cout<<"the answer is : "<<c<<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
no error found.you try again this program taking getch().
is semicolon necessary after conditional operator
yes
semicolon is necessary
if semicolon is not used then, build-in error will be displayed.. so it is absolute necessary i guess
& symbol should be there before the c
we can display the condition like that….
c=((a
yes but taking condition this type:
c=((a<b)? a ? b);
include the header files
#include
in the program
program is not compiling!!! shows error in printf statement & void main
no, program is correct. your statement wrong that’s why error is found.
include stdio.h header file , check double quotes r proper in printf statement and try it once with only main(by removing void)
1.int a, b;
#define MAX(x,y) ((x) > (y)) ? (x) : (y)
a = 3;
b = MAX (3, a++);
wat will be the output for b n a?
2.int a, b;
#define MAX(x,y) ((x) > (y)) ? (x) : (y)
a = 3;
b = MAX (a++, 3);
wat will b de output for a n b?
plz explain ur answers also
*In the name of GOD*
in example 1:
x will be 3;
y will be 3;
so result 2 will be assigned to b, so b=3;
then a will be increase one, so a=4;
notice that a will increase after checking in ternary operator, because u’ve used a++, not ++a;
in example 2:
x will be 3;
y will be 3;
so b will be y, b=3;
then a will increase to 4;
for example 1:
a=5 and b=4
Program is not giving proper output showing as
-12-14-16
Example 1:
a=5 and b=4
first: max(3,a++)=((3)>(a++)?(3):(a++)
condition is false a become is 4
after that a++ is b=4 and a is 5
how work the conditional operator with 3 values
both example 1 and 2 gives the same value of a and b.
ex1:x=3,y=a++=3
then, a=3 (given)
b=max(3,3) which is 3
ex2:x=a++=3, y=3
hence a=3 and b= max(3,3) which is 3
write a program to read 3 no. And print gretest no………using ternery operator please solve hurry
itz not executing

#include
#include
int main()
{
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
c = ((a < b)? a : b);
printf(“%d”, c);
return 0;
}
for me it works this way..:)
In this program statment missing
a>b ? a>c?a:c:b>c?b:c
How this condtion is evaluated…
Give me ans. immediatly
I have corrected the program for you.
/*Conditional operator*/
#include
void main()
{
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
c = (a < b)? a : b;
printf(“%d”, c);
}
you havent given the directives
#include
#include
int main (void)
{
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
c = (a < b)? a : b;
printf(“%d”, c);
return 0;
}
this should run if it doesnt also add ‘getch();’ in the end
if we use any operator as that +,-,/,* in scanf what it will be print
Getting 3 numbers from input and printing the GREATEST:
#include
#define MAX(A, B, C) (((A) >= (B)) ? (((A) >= (C)) ? (A) : (C)) : (((B) >= (C)) ? (B) : (C)))
int main()
{
int a = 0, b = 0, c = 0;
printf(“Enter the first number: “);
scanf(“%d”, &a);
printf(“Enter the second number: “);
scanf(“%d”, &b);
printf(“Enter the third number: “);
scanf(“%d”, &c);
printf(“\nThe largest number of %d, %d, and %d is %d.”, a, b, c, MAX(a, b, c));
}
lol i am a new programmer age 12 .. you guys make it look har lamo… i can do all this with ease…
what does “a:b” mean ….??
prasanth
#include
#include
void main(){
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
c = (a < b)? a : b;
printf(
If u try to run this program in Turbo c…Just modify the above program as below………
/*Conditional operator*/
#include
#include
void main()
{
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
clrscr();
c = (a < b)? a : b;
printf(
#include
#include
main(){
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
c = (a < b)? a : b; printf(“%d”, c); getch();
}
HEY SIR GIVEN PROGRAM IS SHOWING ERROR IN PRINTF SENTEX
#include
main(){
int a = 10, b = 11;
int c;
c = (a < b)? a : b; printf(“%d”, c);
}
plz try this
player=(player%2)?1:2;
how does this works
int b = 5, c = 15, d = 8, e = 8,a;
a = b>c?c>d?12:d>e?13:14:15;
printf(“%d”,a);
output=15
anyone can explain me plz.. in brief ..hw it happen
please help me out..
any solution related to this statement
a= a+=count==0?5:4;
can we use quadratic equation using conditionl
operator
#include
#include
main()
{
int a,b,c;
clrscr();
printf(“enter the a,b values);
scanf(“%d %d”,&a,&b);
c=(a<b)?a:b;
printf("c=%d',c);
getch();
}
a=10,b=15
void main()
{ int i=5,j=8,k=10,x,y,a;
x=a** -j;
y=k++ * j–;
printf(“Value of x %d”,x);
printf(“Value of y %d”,y);
}
ans: x=856
y=80
plz explain this
#include
int main ()
{
int n;
printf (“enter an integer\n:”);
scanf(“%d”,&n);
switch (n%2)
{
case 0;
printf(“number is even\n”);
break;
case 1;
printf(“number is even\n”);
break;
}
return 0;
}
What will be the output of the above program?
Awesome. I liked it. š Learning C wont be much simpler than this. Wow. Thank you so much
