The ternary operator allows us to simplify some PHP conditional statements. We'll see how it can be used, with test-driven development and refactoring, to simplify code like:
<?php
$result = null;
if (5>3) {
$result = "Bigger";
} else {
$result = "Less";
}
Written using a ternary operator, we can write the above comparison as:
<?php $result = 5 > 3 ? "Bigger" : "Less";
This is obviously a much simpler way to write relatively easy to understand conditional statements and something we should consider when writing future code,
