The Ternary Operator in PHP

From The Video

The ternary operator allows us to simplify some PHP conditional statements. We'll see how it can be used, with test-driven development and refactoring, to simplify code like:

<?php

$result = null;

if (5>3) {
    $result = "Bigger";
} else {
$result = "Less";
}

Written using a ternary operator, we can write the above comparison as:

<?php
$result = 5 > 3 ? "Bigger" : "Less";

This is obviously a much simpler way to write relatively easy to understand conditional statements and something we should consider when writing future code,
