Ternary using pass keyword python

Question

I have a working conditional statement:

if True:
    pass
else:
    continue

that I would like to turn it into a ternary expression:

pass if True else continue

However, Python does not allow this. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Answer 1

pass and continue are a statements, and cannot be used within ternary operator, since the operator expects expressions, not statements. Statements don't evaluate to values in Python.

Nevertheless, you can still shorten the condition you brought like this:

if False: continue
