How to include multiline conditional inside template literal
To include a multiline conditional inside a template literal in C, you can use the ternary operator (? :
) along with line continuation using the backslash (\
) character. Here's an example with explanations for each step:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num = 10;
int result = (num > 5) ?
printf("The number is greater than 5.\n") :
printf("The number is less than or equal to 5.\n");
return 0;
}
Explanation:
1. We start by including the necessary header file stdio.h
for using the printf
function.
2. In the main
function, we declare an integer variable num
and assign it a value of 10
.
3. We use the ternary operator (num > 5) ?
to create a conditional statement. If num
is greater than 5
, the expression before the :
is executed; otherwise, the expression after the :
is executed.
4. Inside each expression, we use the printf
function to print a message to the console. The message depends on the condition.
5. To include the multiline conditional inside the template literal, we use line continuation with the backslash (\
) character. This allows us to split the statement into multiple lines for better readability.
6. Finally, we assign the result of the printf
function to the result
variable. The printf
function returns the number of characters printed.
When you run this code, it will output:
The number is greater than 5.
Note: The example provided is in C, not JavaScript. Template literals are a feature of JavaScript, not C. However, you can achieve similar functionality in C by using the printf
function to format strings.
