Is there an equivalent of C s ternary operator in python

Question

There is ternary operator in C (?:). Is there an equivalent operator in Python?

Answer 1

Yes, there is. The syntax is as follows:

[true] if [expression] else [false]

x, y = 2, 6
small = x if x < y else y

Before this syntax was introduced in Python 2.5, a common idiom was to use logical operators:

[expression] and [true] or [false]
