How can I use the ternary operator in apex to conditionally set a variable?

In the context of the Salesforce apex codebase, I have recently encountered a particular scenario where I need to conditionally set a variable based on the value of another variable. How can I use the ternary operator in apex to achieve this?

In the context of Salesforce, here is an example given of how you can use the ternary operator for conditionally set a variable based on a condition:-


Public class AgeGroup {
    Public static String determineAgeGroup(int age) {
        String ageGroup = (age >= 18) ? “Adult” : “Minor”;
        Return ageGroup;
    }
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        Int person1Age = 25;
        Int person2Age = 15;
        String person1AgeGroup = determineAgeGroup(person1Age);
        String person2AgeGroup = determineAgeGroup(person2Age);
        System.out.println(“Person 1 Age Group: “ + person1AgeGroup); // Output: Adult
        System.out.println(“Person 2 Age Group: “ + person2AgeGroup); // Output: Minor
    }
}

When you would run this java coding, you would see that the output would indicate the age group (“Adult” or “Minor”) based on the provided ages for each person. This would demonstrate how the temporary operator can be used in Java programming language for handling conditional logic effectively.
