Introduction: In previous article i explained how to Find greatest of three numbers using nested if else statement in C Language and How to swap two numbers without using temporary variable in C Language? and Check whether a number is positive or negative using if else in C Language and Check whether a number is even or odd using if else statement in C Language. Now in this article i will explain how to find greatest of two numbers using conditional operator in C Language. Conditional operator is also known as ternary operator and its symbol is ?:
The syntax for conditional operator is: condition?expression1:expression2;
Condition is evaluated either true or false as a Boolean expression . If condition is true expression1 will be evaluated and become the result else expression2 will be evaluated and become the result.Let's create a program to understand the working of ternary operator.
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int x,y,large;
printf("Enter first value: ");
scanf("%d",&x);
printf("Enter second value: ");
scanf("%d",&y);
large=(x>y)?x:y;
printf("Largest value among two numbers=%d",large);
getch();
}
Now run the program using Ctrl+F9
Output:
Enter first value: 56
Enter second value: 90
Largest value among two numbers=90
