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>Therefore, the expression
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> x ? : y
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p class="noindent">has the value of <code>x</code> if that is nonzero; otherwise, the value of
|
|
<code>y</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>This example is perfectly equivalent to
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> x ? x : y
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p><a name="index-side-effect-in-_0040code_007b_003f_003a_007d-2902"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_003f_003a_007d-side-effect-2903"></a>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.
