Ternary Operator in Python

The document discusses the ternary operator in Python. The ternary operator allows developers to evaluate conditional statements and perform actions based on whether the statement is true or false. It has three operands - a condition, a value to return if true, and a value to return if false. This makes ternary operators more concise than traditional if/else statements. The document provides the syntax and an example comparing an if/else statement to a ternary operator implementation that returns a discount message based on a customer's age.

Ternary Operator in Python

• What is Python Ternary Operator?


• In the Python programming language, the Ternary Operator is a
condition expression that allows developers to evaluate
statements.
• The Ternary Operators perform an action based on whether the
statement is True or False.
• As a result, these operators are shorter than a standard if-else
statement.
• Syntax of Python Ternary Operator with Example
• Python’s ternary operators, as the name implies, require three
operands to function.
• The Python ternary statement has the following syntax:
• <variable> = <true_value> if <condition> else <false_value>
• The three operands are as follows:

• 1. condition: A Boolean expression must be evaluated to determine whether it is true or


false.

• 2. true_value: A value assigned if the condition is true.

• 3. false_value: A value to be assigned if the condition is false.

• Ternary Operators are commonly used to determine the value of a variable. If the condition
is True, the variable takes on the value “true value,” else it takes on the value “false value.”
• Example for Ternary Operator Implementation
• Let’s return to the earlier-mentioned example, where we wish to
provide a consumer at the medical store a discount if they are 65
or older.
• Customers who are not 65 or older are not eligible for a
discount.
• Code and Output for if-else Implementation
• To grasp the difference between the Python ternary operator
and the if-else statement approach, let’s start with the if-else
statement.
• # Taking input of your age
• a = int(input("Enter Your Age : "))
• #if condition to check if age>=65 or not
• if(a>=65):
• print("\nYay! 30% Discount!")
• #if age<65
• else:
• print("\nSorry! No Discount!")
• Output if 67 is the input:
• Enter Your Age : 67Yay! 30% Discount!
• Code and Output for Ternary Operator Implementation
We can now use the syntax of the ternary expression to make
this program much more compact.
• # Taking input of your age
• a = int(input("Enter Your Age : "))
• # <result if cond. is T> if <cond.> else <result if cond. is F>
• result = "30% Discount!" if (a>=65) else " No Discount!"
• print(result)
• Here is a simple and easy Python program that uses the ternary
operator method to find the smaller of two values.
• # Take input of two numbers
• a = int(input())
• b = int(input())
• # check which is smaller
• result = a if a<b else b
• print("Smaller Number is: ",result)
