Juval Lowy's C# Coding Standards Questions

Question

I enjoy and highly recommend Juval Lowy\'s - C# Coding Standard. Juval explicitly avoids rationale for each directive in order to keep the standard tight (see the preface). Howe

Answer 1

2.29 Avoid using the ternary conditional operator I have no problems with "simple" uses of the ternary operator but have recommended against using it in a nested fashion:

// This is fine
x := (conditionA) ? true_resultA : false_resultA;

// This would probably be clearer using if-then-elseif
x := (conditionA) ? 
       ((conditionA1) ? true_resultA1 : (condition2) ? true_result2 : false_result2) :
       ((conditionA2) ? true_resultA2 : false_resultA2);
