what is the meaning of '?'and ':' in this expression? bool Addr int m= Addr ? 1 : 5 thanks

[dehseth]

means: int m; if (Addr) { m = 1; } else { m = 5; } check Addr (? -> check) if its true use first expression (1) else use second one (5)

X1 ? answer1 : answer2 If X1 is true the expression will return answer1, if it is not it will return answer2 and I think you are new so see C++ Reference[^].

This line of code first evaluates the condition 'Addr == true'. Then, if the condition is true assigns 1 to m, otherwise asssigns 5 to it.

the ?: is a ternary operator(takes three operands), which is known as Conditional Operator. Its the simplified form of a simple if statement. Check the MSDN Link[^] for more info. Regards, Jijo.
