Conditional Operator

The conditional operator is a ternary operator (it has three operands) and is used
to evaluate boolean expressions, much like an if statement except instead of
executing a block of code, if the test is true, a conditional operator will assign a
value to a variable. In other words, the basic purpose of the conditional operator is to decide
which of two values to assign to a variable. This operator is constructed using a ?
(question mark) and a : (colon). The parentheses are optional. Its structure is:

x = (boolean expression) ? value to assign if true : value to assign if false
Let's take a look at a conditional operator in code:

class Employee {
public static void main(String [] args) {
int pets = 3;
String status = (pets<4) sizeofyard =" 12;" numofpets =" 4;" status =" (pets<4)?"> 8)? "Pet limit on the edge"
:"too many pets";
System.out.println("Pet status is " + status);

}
remember that conditional operators are sometimes confused with assertion statements, so be
certain you can tell the difference.
