Ternary Operator in Java

Java ternary operator is the only conditional operator that takes three operands. It’s a one-liner replacement for the if-then-else statement and is used a lot in Java programming. We can use the ternary operator in place of if-else conditions or even switch conditions using nested ternary operators. Although it follows the same algorithm as of if-else statement, the conditional operator takes less space and helps to write the if-else statements in the shortest way possible.

 Syntax: 

variable = Expression1 ? Expression2 : Expression3

If operates similarly to that of the if-else statement as in Exression2 is executed if Expression1 is true else Expression3 is executed.
