Ternary operator Please

[pedromassango]

It wold be nice if Kotlin support Ternary operator. I think it is more simple that use when() or if() conditional.

Java
String username = firstName.isEmpty() ? lastName : firstName;

Kotlin
val username = firstName.isEmpty() ? lastName : firstName

It will be very good for us developers.

Let’s not get into this discussion again, as long as there is nothing new to add

Already discussed to death in other threads.

tl;dr Ain’t gonna happen. Kotlin provides more readable alternatives:

val username = if(firstName.isEmpty()) lastName else firstName

Or even better in this case:

val username = firstName?.takeUnless { it.isEmpty() } ?: lastName
