Python Ternary operators also called conditional expressions, are operators that evaluate something based on a binary condition. Ternary operators provide a shorthand way to write conditional statements, which makes the code more concise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this tutorial, let us look at what is the ternary operator in Python and how we can use it in our code with some examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ternary operator is available from Python<\/strong> onwards, and the syntax is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The simpler way is to represent ternary operator Syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: <\/strong>The conditionals are an expression<\/em>, not a statement<\/em>. It means that you can\u2019t use assignment statements or pass other statements<\/strong> within a conditional expression.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us take a simple example to check if the student\u2019s result is pass or fail based on the marks obtained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using a traditional approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are familiar with \u201c Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now instead of using a typical The ternary operator evaluates the condition first. If the result is true, it returns the value_if_true<\/em>. Otherwise, it returns value_if_false<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The ternary operator is equivalent to the If you are from a programming background like C#, Java, etc., the ternary syntax looks like below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, In Python, the syntax of the ternary operator is slightly different. The following example demonstrates how we can use the ternary operator in Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Program to demonstrate ternary operators in Python<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Python Ternary operators also called conditional expressions, are operators that evaluate something based on a binary condition.
