Groovy: Ternary operator (?:)

It is a short cut to if-else statement.

Syntax

value = (expression) ? statement1 : statement2

If the expression is evaluated to true, then statement1 is assigned to the value, else statement2 is assigned to the value.

HelloWorld.groovy

a = 10

message = (a == 10) ? "a is equal to 10" : "a is not equal to 10"

println message

Output

a is equal to 10
