int a =
b == 1 ? 2 :
b == 2 ? 3 :
b == 3 ? 5 :
-1;
- masklinn 7y agoI like those, but they do need to be properly formatted and only "tail-nested". I also tend to format them thus: int a = b == 1 ? 2 : b == 2 ? 3 : b == 3 ? 5 : -1; Feels much more "case analysis-y" and clearer. Still, a language having proper support for expressive conditionals is probably better. Also the way Python's ternary was defined means it should never ever be nested, it looks nasty.
