How to use the ternary operator inside an interpolated string?

by

According to the documentation:

The structure of an interpolated string is as follows:

{ <interpolationExpression>[,<alignment>][:<formatString>] }

The problem is that the colon is used to denote formatting, like:

Console.WriteLine($"The current hour is {hours:hh}")

The solution is to wrap the conditional in parenthesis:

var result = $"Descending {(isDescending ? "yes" : "no")}";
