3,843 PointsHow to convert if/else to ternary if/else?
Hello everyone, I am learning c#. Currently, I am confused on what I am doing wrong. I am attempting to convert from if/else to ternary if/else. I am being prompted with a error that I have not included the boolean expression in my conversion but it is there...at least I would think. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
int value = -1;
string textColor = null;
(value < 0) ? textColor = "red" : textColor = "green";

int value = -1;
string textColor = null;
textColor = (value < 0) ? "red" : "green";
