Ternary operator in C#

The ternary operator in C# (?:) is a concise conditional expression. It evaluates a condition and returns one of two expressions based on the result. For example, condition ? trueExpression : falseExpression. If the condition is true, it returns trueExpression, otherwise falseExpression. It's a shorthand for if-else statements in some cases.

Thanks!

Instead of the conventional If else condition, we go for the ternary operator

 conventional :

if ( value == true)

     function1()

else 

   function2()

ternary

value == true ? function1(): function2()

You can consider it as the short version of  if-else

like you have a variable 
bool showValue = true;

now you need to add some conditions based on this number, then you can easily do it with if - else
Ex: if(showValue)
       {
          Message: "Show the text box value"
       }
      else 
       {
          Message: "Hide the text box value"
}

With Ternary::

var message = showValue ? "Show the text box value" : "Hide the text box value "

if showValue is true than print "Show the text box value" else "Hide the text box value"

example :- convert below to ternary

1. If gender is male then append MR with name,
2. if gender is Female and Marital Status is unmarried then append Ms,
3. if gender is female and Marital Status is married then append Mrs

string Name= @(Model.Gender=="Male"?"Mr."+Model.Name:(Model.Gender=="Female" && Model.MaritalStatus=="Unmarried")?"Ms."+Model.Name:"Mrs."+Model.Name);
