It's called a ternary operator, basically an if-else statement.


Note to self: write "ternary" on the blackboard 100 times.

I thought 'tertiary' also - I could remember the 'other' name... I was under the impression that both names were valid.. anyone know if this is true? google brings up relevant hits for both, from what I gather ternary is more correct.


Yep, it's just a fancy if-else statement.
