@NogDogOct 28.2021 — #At a quick glance, they all look like a waste of time unless your objective is to write hard to maintain code that is likely to have hidden bugs in it. Do you actually understand what each of those is doing and have some reason why you would want to do it that way? @NogDogOct 30.2021 — #
No: the more nesting of any sort, the more it's time to refactor your code to get rid of the nesting. (Assuming you're using the term "nesting" meaning things embedded in things embedded in things... as opposed to just visually typing any nesting you do have across multiple lines with indenting, which is more likely to be a good thing.)
Various Ways Of The Ternary Operator
Folks,
Experimented like this about a month ago.
Look at the various ternary operator you can write:
1.
[code]
<?php
//Example 1
$i = 1;
//if(condition ? THEN : ELSE).
if($i == 1 ? $i++ : 1);
echo $i; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
2.
[code]
<?php
//Example 2
$i = 1;
//condition ? THEN : ELSE.
$i == 1 ? $i++ : 1;
echo $i; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
3.
[code]
<?php
//Example 3
$i = 1;
/*if(condition ?
THEN :
ELSE);
*/
if($i != 1 ?
$i=1 :
$i++);
echo $i; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
4.
[code]
<?php
//Example 4
$i = 1;
/*condition ?
THEN :
ELSE.
*/
$i != 1 ?
$i=1 :
$i++;
echo $i; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
5.
[code]
<?php
//Example 5
$i = 1;
/*if(condition
? THEN
: ELSE).
*/
if($i != 1
? $i=1
: $i++);
echo $i; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
6.
[code]
<?php
//Example 6
$i = 1;
/*condition
? THEN
: ELSE.
*/
$i != 1
? $i=1
: $i++;
echo $i; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
7.
[code]
<?php
$default = 0;
//(Do this if result is TRUE ? : ELSE).
if($default++ ? : 1);
echo $default; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
8.
[code]
<?php
$default = 0;
//Do this if result is TRUE ? : ELSE.
$default++ ? : 1;
echo $default; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
9.
[code]
<?php
$default = 1;
//(Do this if result is TRUE ? : ELSE).
if($default++ ? : 1);
echo $default; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
10.
[code]
<?php
$default = 1;
//Do this if result is TRUE ? : ELSE.
$default++ ? : 1;
echo $default; echo ‘<br>’;
?>
Do you know of any more ways of shortcutting the ternary operator ?
