Python ? (conditional/ternary) operator for assignments [duplicate]
Python has such an operator:
variable = something if condition else something_elseAlternatively, although not recommended (see karadoc's comment):
variable = (condition and something) or something_else
In older Python code, you may see the trick:
condition and something or something_elseHowever, this has been superseded by the vastly superior ... if ... else ... construct:
something if condition else something_else
