What is the Java ?: operator called and what does it do?

Question

I have been working with Java a couple of years, but up until recently I haven\'t run across this construct:

int count = isHere ? getHereCount(index) : getAw         


        

Answer 1

Its Ternary Operator(?:)

The ternary operator is an operator that takes three arguments. The first 
argument is a comparison argument, the second is the result upon a true 
comparison, and the third is the result upon a false comparison.
