Is there a if-else list comprehension in Julia

Question

I am trying to use zip in a pythonic way but in Julia. Given two lists:

a =[2;3;4;5;6]
b =[0;7;8;9;10]

I would like to create the following list comprehension,

c = [x for (x,y) in zip(a, b) if (x<y) else y]

that returns c = [0;3;4;5;6]. Instead I get syntax: expected "]" returned.

Answer 1

You have to rewrite your comprehension such that the condition is in the generator's "body":

c = [x < y ? x : y for (x, y) in zip(a, b)]

The if-condition in comprehensions is purely for filtering at the moment (although it might be possible to add the meaning you want).
