Re: Mr. Ternary is greater than Mrs. If Else

hi,,, while ago i was wondering why do some programmers rarely uses the ternary operator. wherein it is less typing indeed. i believe in the classic virtue of Perl which is laziness. well let me show you something first before i go to my delimma.

I don't think the laziness virtue of Perl extends to sacrificing readability by saving to write a few characters...
I like to be able to rest my eyes on the code, without getting dizzy. ;)

I second that. In fact IMHO lazyness alone is not really a virtue. I know, because I'm so lazy!
