To my deranged Friday afternoon brain, this is the funniest bit
I’m not CS smart enough to understand this… 😢
“Ternary operator” means “operator that takes three things”, like unary and binary operators take one and two things.
In C there is an operator for conditional expressions (an ‘if’ that you can put inside expressions) and it looks like this
condition ? trueBranch : falseBranch. It takes three expressions, so it’s a ternary operator.Except it’s the only ternary operator in C (and most languages, if they have one at all), so instead of calling it something like “conditional operator”, they just call it “the ternary operator”

I really like the way kotlin is doing it. The readability of the first one and still a direct assignment.
var a = if (isTrue) 2 else 9I like the python way as it reads more naturally
a = 2 if isTrue else 9
The joke is that the people in the conversation are kinda dumb
What?
Well if you make me actually explain it, I’m going to sound like an asshole; the joke is so obvious and low-level and the type of humor so uninspired that I figure they must be a little… you know, dumb.

Too late muchacho… you’re already giving real big superiority vibes here
Yeah… well, you know.
It’s not the best joke I’ve seen, but I wouldn’t call it dumb. To each their own, I guess. Jokes are subjective.
Honestly, it is not worth it and only mildly funny. You didn’t miss anything.
Very useful reply 👍
