Ternary operator with multiple statements

Question

I have a program flow as follows:

if(a)
{
    if((a > b) || (a > c))
    {
        doSomething();
    }
    statementX;
    statementY;
}

I need to translate this into a conditional expression, and this is what I have done:

(a) ? (((a > b) || (a > c)) ? doSomething() : something_else) : something_else;

Where do I insert statements statementX, statementY? As it is required to execute in both the possible cases, I cannot really find out a way.

You can use comma , operator like this:

a ? (
    (a > b || a > c ? do_something : do_something_else), 
    statementX, 
    statementY
  ) 
  : something_else;

The following program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
    int a, b, c;

    a = 1, b = 0, c = 0;

    a ? (
      (a > b || a > c ? printf ("foo\n") : printf ("bar\n")),
      printf ("x\n"),
      printf ("y\n")
    )
    : printf ("foobar\n");
}

print for me:

foo
x
y
