In this post, We will try to understand how to use a ternary operator in salesforce to reduce code. Ternary Operator acts as a short-hand for if-then-else statements.
x ? y : z
If x a boolean is true then the result will be y and If x a boolean is false then the result will be z.
Integer result= Condition? Valueone : Valuetwo;
Example(Ternary):
Integer currentmarketPrice = 25000;
Integer priormarketPrice = 15000;
Integer OppAmount = priormarketPrice > 15000 ? currentmarketPrice : priormarketPrice ;
If we do not use a ternary operator then we would have ended up implementing If then else logic with multiple lines of code.
Example(Without Ternary operator/If-else logic):
Integer OppAmount;
Integer currentmarketPrice = 25000;
Integer priormarketPrice = 15000;
If(priormarketPrice > 15000 )
{
OppAmount = currentmarketPrice;
} else {
OppAmount = priormarketPrice;
}
