Which coding style you use for ternary operator? [closed]

by

The ternary operator is generally to be avoided, but this form can be quite readable:

  result = (foo == bar)  ? result1 :
           (foo == baz)  ? result2 :
           (foo == qux)  ? result3 :
           (foo == quux) ? result4 : 
                           fail_result;

This way, the condition and the result are kept together on the same line, and it’s fairly easy to skim down and understand what’s going on.
