Can you do it like that?
The command does exist, I've seen it in my C book (1st year CS student).
As far as I know wouldn't it be (a new example):
result < 100 ? result++ : result--

That pointless piece of code I just created should, if the result is less 
than 100 add 1 to result and if its greater than 100 it will take 1 away 
from result.

I believe that the command is simply short for a very simple if-else 
statement.

Is that correct?
