I prefer this layout for easy reading: str = x > 0 ? @"positive" : x < 0 ? @"negative" : @"zero"; It’s a favorite of mine too, and I often use it for more complicated assignments that would otherwise require multiple if-else expressions. I prefer this layout for easy reading:

str = x > 0 ? @”positive”
: x < 0 ? @"negative"
: @"zero";

It's in fact the only operator with three operands (hence the name :-). Some might argue that they don't use it for code-readability's sake but if you know what the operator does you can figure out the code just as quick as an if-else expression. I wouldn't nest them however. Regards, Steff Love this operator as well! It’s in fact the only operator with three operands (hence the name :-).

First, it's a good way to do conditional assignment on the same line as the definition of the variable that gets the result. Second, it's a good way to cut down on curly brackets, as an alternative to the horrid practice of nesting a single conditional line below the condition without brackets. The one drawback is the increased difficulty of inserting breakpoints on the individual conditions. I like the ternary operator for two reasons.
