I do like the ternary operator '?' in C (and in some other languages)
which reduces several lines to one and is still very readable, maybe more
so.

variable = condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false

instead of

if (a > b) {
     result = x;
}
else {
     result = y;
}


just write

result = a > b ? x : y;
