| Python Ternary Operater |
Ternary operator in Python
Ternary operations in Python, often also referred to as conditional expressions allow the programmer to perform an evaluation and return a value based on the truth of the given condition.
The ternary operator differs from a standard if, else, elif structure in the sense that it is not a control flow structure, and behaves more like other operators such as == or != in the Python language.
Example
In this example, the string Even is returned if the val variable is even, otherwise the string Odd is returned. The returned string is then assigned to the is_even variable and printed to the console.
Input
for val in range(1, 11):
is_even = "Even" if val % 2 == 0 else "Odd"
print(val, is_even, sep=' = ')
Output
1 = Odd
2 = Even
3 = Odd
4 = Even
5 = Odd
6 = Even
7 = Odd
8 = Even
9 = Odd
10 = Even
