Conditional Operators in C:

Conditional operators return one value if condition is true and returns another value is condition is false.
This operator is also called as ternary operator.

Syntax : (Condition? true_value: false_value);

Example : (A > 100 ? 0 : 1);

In above example, if A is greater than 100, 0 is returned else 1 is returned. This is equal to if else conditional statements.

Example program for conditional/ternary operators in C:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   int x=1, y ;
   y = ( x ==1 ? 2 : 0 ) ;
   printf("x value is %d\n", x);
   printf("y value is %d", y);
}

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

int x=1, y ;

y = ( x ==1 ? 2 : 0 ) ;

printf("x value is %d\n", x);

printf("y value is %d", y);

}

x value is 1
y value is 2

Types of Operators	Description
Arithmetic_operators	These are used to perform mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus
Assignment_operators	These are used to assign the values for the variables in C programs.
Relational operators	These operators are used to compare the value of two variables.
Logical operators	These operators are used to perform logical operations on the given two variables.
Bit wise operators	These operators are used to perform bit operations on given two variables.
Conditional (ternary) operators	Conditional operators return one value if condition is true and returns another value is condition is false.
Increment/decrement operators	These operators are used to either increase or decrease the value of the variable by one.
Special operators	&, *, sizeof( ) and ternary operators.
