Java Ternary operator with Example

The Java ternary operator is a shorthand for an if-else statement. It has the syntax:

condition ? expression1 : expression2;

If the condition is true, expression1 is executed; if false, expression2 is executed.

Example:

int age = 18;

String result = (age >= 18) ? “Adult” : “Minor”;

System.out.println(result); // Output: Adult

Here, if age is greater than or equal to 18, the result will be “Adult”; otherwise, it will be “Minor”. The ternary operator is a compact alternative to simple conditional checks.
