I was wondering if it was possible to do a ternary operation but without returning anything.
If it's not possible in Java is it possible in other languages, if so which ones apply?
name.isChecked() ? name.setChecked(true):name.setChecked(false);

A ternary operator doesn't have a do nothing option for either the true or false path since the entire ternary command returns a value and so both paths must set a value. The “do nothing” value will depend on what value you want the ternary operator to return to indicate “do nothing”.
In essence, your answer says: "Yes, it's possible to use the ternary operator without assigning a variable. All you have to do is -- assign a variable."
The Java ternary operator provides an abbreviated syntax to evaluate a true or false condition, and return a value based on the Boolean result.
The conditional (ternary) operator is the only JavaScript operator that takes three operands: a condition followed by a question mark ( ? ), then an expression to execute if the condition is truthy followed by a colon ( : ), and finally the expression to execute if the condition is falsy.
No, you can't. But what's the point of this over an if-else statement? Are you really trying to save 7 characters?
if (name.isChecked()) { name.setChecked(true); } else { name.setChecked(false); } or if you prefer bad style:
if (name.isChecked()) name.setChecked(true); else name.setChecked(false); Never mind the fact that you can just do (in this case):
name.setChecked(name.isChecked()); The point of the ternary or "conditional" operator is to introduce conditionals into an expression. In other words, this:
int max = a > b ? a : b; is meant to be shorthand for this:
int max; if ( a > b ) { max = a; } else { max = b; } If there is no value being produced, the conditional operator is not a shortcut.
