Boolean determines value?

Question

What Is the (?5:55) portion of this code doing? I’ve tried google, but I don’t know how to describe It. Also, Is there a chapter In SoloLearn that I could reference?

Answer 1

It is called a - conditional operator (? :) OR a ternary operator (it takes three operands). The conditional operator works as follows: The first operand is implicitly converted to boolean value (i. e. Value 0 /1). It is evaluated and all side effects are completed before continuing. If the first operand evaluates to true (1), the second operand is evaluated. Else, 3rd operand is evaluated.

Answer 2

look up ternary operator.
