How to do a quick inline method with conditional?

Question

This is what I'd like to do:

string x = if(true) "String Val" else "No String Val";

Is that possible?

Answer 1

What you're talking about is called a conditional statement:

string x = boolVal ? "String Val" : "No String Val";

If you really want the string to have no value if the bool is false, you could change to:

string x = boolVal ? "String Val" : null;

Answer 2

string x = condition ? trueValue : falseValue;
