TERNERY OPERATOR VS IF ELSE

TERNERY OPERATOR:

SYNTAX:

(CONDITION? STAEMENTS IF TRUE: TATEMENTS IF FALSE)

EXPLANATION:

It consists of 3 statements:

·        Condition

·        Statements if true

·        Statements if false

It is an alternative of if else only if if the statements to be executed in if and else part are 1 if there are more than 1 statements in if else ternary operator cannot be used

IF ELSE IF

Syntax:

if(condition)
{

            statements;

}

else
{

            statements; 

}

Explanation:

It contains 2 blocks:
            if block
            else block

Tests the condition in if block

If the condition is true the 1^st block is executed if it is false second block is executed

For Example:

Problem:

            Get two numbers from user if the first is divisible by second display the quotient if not display the quotient and remainder

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

void main()

{           int num1,num2;

cout<<”enter the number”;

            cin>>num1;

cout<<”enter the second number”

cin>>num2;

if(num1%num2==0)

{

            cout<<num1/num2;

}

else

{

cout<<”quotient”<<num1/num2;

cout<<”remainder=”<<num1%num2;

}

This problem cannot be solved by ternary operator because else part contains 2 statements
