What is this doing?

What does this code do?

Im lost on the ? and : signs?

Code:

---

return(num1>num2 ? num1 : num2);

---

The ?: operator is merely shorthand:

Code:

---

string x;
int y = 4

x = ((y > 4) ? "Y greater than 4" : "Y not greater than 4");

---

Here's the syntax:

Code:

---

result = (comparison) ? true-result : false-result

---

If num1>num2 then num1 is returned else if num1<num2 then num2 is returned.

That means thet if the expression is true the first value is returned else the second is retuned.

Little late...

Hehe n/p ;)
