Ternary Operators are used to give variable a value, It returns a certain value, You can't really use it to execute, For example functions.

What!? In what language is this? For Java and Perl this is perfectly valid.

 x != null ? do(x) : doh() ;

sure this is invalid if doh() is a void method

printf( "%s\n", x != null ? do( x ) : doh() );

This wouldnt work, since printf needs a string to print, and doh() isnt going to return one. But yes, you can execute methods out of a ternary operator, you can even nest them!

return( ( gotAccount == YES ? ( status == 'A' ? YES : ( [self isSuspended] == YES ? YES : NO ) ) : NO ) );

Hm, Calling a function from Ternary Operators is something i
haven't seen used, I guess it's possible but you might as well
go for the IF statements, It's easier to understand.

there is some contest (maybe more than one?) to write a c program which is as less readable as possible ... the most unreadable code wins (as long as the program does as required results) .. one of the most common tricks used in there is to post all code on 1 line (using no indention ...) but also to use no brackets at all

i forgot the url i had for that contest

the 'go to first unread post' doesnt work anymore .. it just goes to the last post .. although i hadnt read about 10 posts in this thread

The International Obfuscated C Code Contest

http://www.ioccc.org/

has an annual competion for impossible to read C code

#include <stdio.h>
#define S(s)char x[]=#s;s
#define Q(x)x
#define A(x,y)y##x
#define B(x,y)A(y,x)
#define C(x,y)B(y,x)
#define Z(s,t,u)case s:if(*p!=32){t;}else{u;}break;
S(B( A( a ,m ),A(n ,i))() {B (A(h,c ),A(r ,a ))*p=x ;B(A( n, i),t)t
=0;B(A(n , i),t)s =0;B( f ,A(r, o )) (;*p;Q( p)++){C( B( A(c,t) ,h),B(A(
w, s),i))( s){ Z( 0,t+=8 *8-00 ,s ++)Z( 1,t+= 8 ;,s++ )Z
( 2, t++ ,putchar(t-73);t=s=0)}}})
