A conditional expression (sometimes called a "ternary operator") is an
alternative to the if-else statement. As it is an expression, it returns a value
and can appear as a sub-expression.
The expression ``x if C else y`` first evaluates the condition, *C* rather than *x*.
If *C* is true, *x* is evaluated and its value is returned; otherwise, *y* is
