Java Ternary Operator with Example | Java Conditional Operator

Operators are special symbols that perform specific operations on one, two, or three operands, and then return a result. There are different types of operators are available in java which are given below:
1. Arithmetic Operators.
2. Unary Operators.
3. Assignment Operators.
4. Relational Operators.
5. Logical Operators.
6. BitWise Operators.
7. Ternary Operators.
8. InstanceOf Operators.

Java Ternary Operator:

Ternary Operator in java is also known as the conditional operator. This operator takes three operands. This operator can replace certain types of if-then-else statements. The syntax of the ternary operator is shown below:

 variable = expression1 ? expression2: expression3

Here, If expression1 is true, then expression2 is evaluated; otherwise, expression3 is evaluated.

Java Ternary Example to find the largest among two numbers:

class TernaryOperator{ 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
	
        // variable declaration 
        int num1 = 20, num2 = 30, max; 
  
        System.out.println("First number is: " + num1); 
        System.out.println("Second number is: " + num2); 
  
        // Largest among num1 and num2 
        max = (num1 > num2) ? num1 : num2; 
  
        // Print the largest number 
        System.out.println("Maximum Number is: = " + max); 
    } 
}
