python – Putting a simple if-then-else statement on one line

python – Putting a simple if-then-else statement on one line

Thats more specifically a ternary operator expression than an if-then, heres the python syntax

value_when_true if condition else value_when_false

Better Example: (thanks Mr. Burns)

Yes if fruit == Apple else No

Now with assignment and contrast with if syntax

fruit = Apple
isApple = True if fruit == Apple else False

vs

fruit = Apple
isApple = False
if fruit == Apple : isApple = True

Moreover, you can still use the ordinary if syntax and conflate it into one line with a colon.

if i > 3: print(We are done.)

or

field_plural = None
if field_plural is not None: print(insert into testtable(plural) {0}.format(field_plural)) 

python – Putting a simple if-then-else statement on one line

count = 0 if count == N else N+1

– the ternary operator. Although Id say your solution is more readable than this.
