Ternaarinen operaattori<\/h1>\n

Tern\u00e4\u00e4rinen operaattori, joka tunnetaan my\u00f6s nimell\u00e4 ehdollinen operaattori, on lyhennetty tapa kirjoittaa if-else-lause yhdell\u00e4 rivill\u00e4 komentosarjassa koodi<\/a>. Se ottaa kolme operandia: ehdon, arvon, joka palautetaan, jos ehto on tosi, ja arvon, joka palautetaan, jos ehto on ep\u00e4tosi. Tern\u00e4\u00e4risen operaattorin syntaksi on seuraava:<\/p>\n

ehto ? value_if_true : value_if_false<\/code><\/p>\n

Ehto arvioidaan ensin. Jos se on tosi, value_if_true-lauseke palautetaan. Jos se on ep\u00e4tosi, palautetaan value_if_false-lauseke. Tern\u00e4\u00e4rist\u00e4 operaattoria k\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n usein tiiviimp\u00e4n\u00e4 vaihtoehtona if-else-lauseelle tilanteissa, joissa ehto on yksinkertainen ja tuloksena oleva koodi on helppolukuista.<\/p>\n

Tarkastellaan esimerkiksi seuraavaa if-else-lausetta:<\/p>\n

if (x > 0) { y = x; } else { y = -x; }<\/code><\/p>\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 voidaan kirjoittaa uudelleen tern\u00e4\u00e4risen operaattorin avulla seuraavasti:<\/p>\n

y = (x > 0) ? x : -x;<\/code><\/p>\n

Tern\u00e4\u00e4rist\u00e4 operaattoria voidaan my\u00f6s k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 sis\u00e4kk\u00e4in monimutkaisempien ehtojen k\u00e4sittelemiseksi. Esimerkiksi:<\/p>\n

tulos = (x > 0) ? \"Positiivinen\" : (x < 0) ? "Negatiivinen" : "Nolla";<\/code><\/p>\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 koodi tarkistaa, onko x suurempi kuin 0. Jos on, palautetaan arvo \"Positiivinen\". Jos ei, koodi tarkistaa, onko x pienempi kuin 0. Jos on, palautetaan arvo \"Negatiivinen\". Jos x ei ole suurempi eik\u00e4 pienempi kuin 0, palautetaan arvo \"Zero\".<\/p>\n

Vaikka tern\u00e4\u00e4rioperaattori voi joissakin tapauksissa tehd\u00e4 koodista tiiviimp\u00e4\u00e4 ja helppolukuisempaa, se voi my\u00f6s vaikeuttaa koodin ymm\u00e4rt\u00e4mist\u00e4, jos sit\u00e4 k\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n liikaa tai ep\u00e4asianmukaisesti. On t\u00e4rke\u00e4\u00e4 k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 tern\u00e4\u00e4rioperaattoria harkiten ja asettaa koodin selkeys ja yll\u00e4pidett\u00e4vyys lyhyyden edelle.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
