To ternary or not to ternary? [closed]

by

Use it for simple expressions only:

int a = (b > 10) ? c : d;

Don’t chain or nest ternary operators as it hard to read and confusing:

int a = b > 10 ? c < 20 ? 50 : 80 : e == 2 ? 4 : 8;

Moreover, when using ternary operator, consider formatting the code in a way that improve readability:

int a = (b > 10) ? some_value                 
                 : another_value;
