To answer this question, let's go through the code step by step:
The given code snippet demonstrates the usage of the ternary operator to assign a value to the variable z
based on a condition.
The ternary operator (condition) ? (expression1) : (expression2)
works as follows:
- If the condition is true, it evaluates to
expression1
.
- If the condition is false, it evaluates to
expression2
.
In this case, the condition is i < j
, where i
is 20 and j
is 55.
Since the condition i < j
is true (20 is less than 55), the ternary operator will evaluate to i
, which is 20.
Therefore, the value assigned to z
is 20.
The output of the program will be:
"The value assigned is 20"
Hence, the correct answer is option A) 20.
