pawn Code:

(var) ? (SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,"test 1")) : (SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,"test 2"))

I tried to learn about it but it game me error i'm missing

In ternary operator it looks like this.

pawn Code:

SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, ( var == 1 ) ? ("Test 1") : ("Test 2") );
//function -^        args^         if-^     then-^              ^-else

In else if it looks like this.

pawn Code:

if( var == 1) SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Test 1");
else SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Test 2");

Why do you want to use Ternary Operator? Why not use else if instead? it looks better and easier to read imo.

Thank you +rep now i can understand.

What do you mean by 4-char?

4 Character, I had nothing to comment so I added 4-char to post my comment, although I edited my post and you should read it again.

lmao ok
Because ternary operator is more faster than if-else if ( i readed it )

[GWMPT]

Ternary operator processing speed is the same as the if / else statement. if not mistaken

[SnL]

and why exists? if is the same as if ?
i read in a spanish tutorial that ternary operators works more fast than ifs

[GWMPT]

Ternary operators exists to reduce the lines of code, and make the if statement somehow, more "flexible"[I can't describe it in a better word]

For example, you want to add "1" to the variable "randomvar" if the variable "tfalse" is true, or add "5" if the variable "tfalse" is false.
In the traditional programming, you would do this:

pawn Code:

if(tfalse)
    randomvar = 1;
else
    randomvar = 5;

So, with the ternary operator, you do:

pawn Code:

randomvar = (tfalse) ? 1 : 5;

Smaller, more "flexible", and it simply does what you need.

Oh okay now i understand.
Thank you +rep.
