Does Motoko support a ternary operator?
I tried
var condition = false; condition ? "I am true" : "I am false";
but I get
syntax error, unexpected token '?', expected one of token or <phrase> sequence: ...
If there is no ternary operator, is there a concise way to accomplish inline switching like this?
Unfortunately, there is no ternary operator. …The question mark acts like a constructor for the optional type. I would love it if we added some syntactic sugar here. Are there any proposals for this @claudio ?
if's are expressions in Motoko, so you can just write:
if
let result = if (false) { "I am true" } else { "I am false" }; assert(result == "I am false");
