Question

i want to transform a code from if condition to a ternary condition,
first i’ve succeeded to transform one condition like:

    int minutes=59,hours=23;
// 1) if condition
if (minutes<59)
    minutes++;
else
    minutes=0;

// 2) ternary condition
minutes = (minutes < 59) ? minutes+1  :  0;

Now the problem is when i’ve more than one value to edit it, like:

    int minutes=59,hours=23;
// if condition
if (minutes<59)
    minutes++;
else
{
    minutes = 0;
    if (hours<23)
        hours++;
    else 
        hours=0;
}

what do you think about the ternary condition ?
thanks 🙂

Answer 1

What I think about it is that you shouldn’t do it.

But if you really want to, you can write this:

minutes = (minutes < 59)
        ? (minutes+1)
        : ((hours = (hours < 23) ? (hours+1) : 0), 0);

But don’t.
