Huh - so I guess the above would also be<br />
<br />
x = y.nil? ? 0 : 1<br />
<br />
Cool - I feel like I fool for not trying it - I ASSumed since a lot of the methods ended in ? &nbsp;it wouldn't also be an operator.<br />
<br />
Thanks again.

yep, <br />
x = y.nil? ? 0 : 1<br />
would be the nicer, more ruby-like form

Hi, is there a conditional operator in Ruby like the ? in C/C#, ie<br />
<br />
x = y == nil ? 0 : 1<br />
<br />
I know you can do<br />
<br />
x = if (y == nil) then 0 else 1 end<br />
<br />
Just wondering if the more compact is possible in Ruby. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Conditional Operator

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.
