Sorry, not familiar with Fortran at all. Did ternaries already exist, and this just adds assignment or is the ternary new too?

- Bostonian 5y agoThe ternary is new. Before, one could use the merge intrinsic function to write y = merge(a(i), -Huge(y), i>=1 .And. i<=Size(a)) but this is risky, because merge does not short-circuit, and the program could crash if i < 1. The ternary syntax y = (boolean ? expression_1 : expression_2) only evaluates one of the expressions.
