Conditional (ternary) Operator

The ?: ternary operator offers a compact way of evaluating conditional expressions in place of 'if' statements (8.3.1). One of its strengths is that it permits a continuation when the prior expressions all evaluate to false. Binary expressions after the true expression are not evaluated.
