Different languages use it in different ways, the ones I do know are python and java. In java it is useful for return statements especially. Lets say you had a variable “isDay” and you wanted to return a sun if it was day and a moon if it was night. To write this you would do return isDay ? sun : night if true, do the first option, otherwise the second option. It’s called ternary(3) because theres three parts. In python its also useful for assigning variables. Using the same scenario as before, you could do something like sky = sun if isDay else moon This can also be used for return statments.

Example: String result = condition ? "condition is true" : "condition is false" is equivalent to: String result; if (condition == true){ result = "condition is true" } else { Result = "Condon is false" }

ternary operator is like if - else for example: (1<2)?2:1 this means: if 1 lesser than 2 return 2 else return 1 and its equivalent to: if (1 < 2) { return 2; } else { return 1; }
