Which would you prefer to maintain? The shorter and clearer (x == y ? a : b) = c; I can see at a glance that the same thing is always assigned (no need to check two places though when it's just 'c' that's not hard), and I can see instantly that what is determined by the test is the destination. -- Ben.
