|
<p>The middle operand in a conditional expression may be omitted. Then
|
||
|
if the first operand is nonzero, its value is the value of the conditional
|
||
|
expression.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>Therefore, the expression
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
<pre class="smallexample">x ? : y
|
||
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>has the value of <code>x</code> if that is nonzero; otherwise, the value of
|
||
|
<code>y</code>.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>This example is perfectly equivalent to
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
<pre class="smallexample">x ? x : y
|
||
|
</pre></div>

|
||
|
<a name="index-_003f_003a-side-effect"></a>
|
||
|
<p>In this simple case, the ability to omit the middle operand is not
|
||
|
especially useful. When it becomes useful is when the first operand does,
|
||
|
or may (if it is a macro argument), contain a side effect. Then repeating
|
||
|
the operand in the middle would perform the side effect twice. Omitting
|
||
|
the middle operand uses the value already computed without the undesirable
|
||
|
effects of recomputing it.
