assigning string in c is a little tricky: you should copy the string to its new emplacement with the help of <string.h> function (such as the strcpy()):

because ternary operator doesn't expect the 'if' keyword... and your variable doesn't have the correct type to receive string ^^

char var[15] = cond ? "true" : "false";

Answer 5

D_Stark still not working 👇👇👇

char AGE=35;
AGE<18 ? "Too Young":"Too Old";
printf("%s\n", AGE);

Answer 6

[Anonymous]95 Your getting muddled up with your types I dont really know c syntax so I guess it will look somthing like this.

int age =35;

char *x = age<18?"to young":"to Old";

printf("%s\n",x);

In ternary operator no need to write if because it's a short cut of if else statement.

Here should be

int x = 35;

char* adult = (x < 18 ? "Too Young" : "Too Old");

printf ("%s", adult);
