How to turn if, else if logic into a ternary operator?

Question

I was just wondering if this was possible because i started using ternary operators to reduce lines of code and i am loving it.

if (x==y)
{
    z += x;
} els         


        

Answer 1

To turn the z calculation into one line, I would do something like this:

public int GetZBasedOnXY(int z, int x, int y)
{
    // Chose this solution, but any can go in here and work.
    if (x == y || x == z)
        return z + y;
    else 
        return z + 1;
}

Then:

z = GetZBasedOnXY(z, x, y);

More readable, and if the naming is good and the method has unit test coverage, even better.
