Ternary Operator works as follow: (if this is true) ? (do this) : (else, do this); in this case ========== i = 0 ? 1 : 2; 0 is false so 2 must be assigned. "i" will be 2. in this case ========== i = 0 ? 1 : 2 ? 3 : 4; 0 is false so (2 ? 3 : 4) must be assigned to i. in the case of 2 ? 3 : 4, 2 is true and so 3 will be returned. So "i" will be 3. try this cout<<(0 ? 1 : 2 ? 3 : 4); output will be 3. Note: () must include, otherwise the output will be 0.

I use to use brackets then, because they make it much more clear. int condition = 2; int result = ( condition == 1 ? 1 : ( condition == 2 ? 2 : 0 ) ); printf("%d", result);

Correct, but you can take the code and try it out what happens, if you set condition = 1 or 2 or something completely different, then you'll see...

And you can of course nest it much deeper if you like: int condition = <sth>; // 1 -> 1 // 2 -> 2 // 3 -> 3 // everything else -> 0 int result = ( condition == 1 ? 1 : ( condition == 2 ? 2 : ( condition == 3 ? 3 : 0 ) ) ); printf("%d", result);

First we will define the value of i.ex Let I=1... Cout(I=3?2:6) ...it checks the condition if I=3 then it displays the value I=2 else 6 But in this case I=1 this is a false condition then it will execute the else and the value will be 6. Hope you understand if not then ask me
