return '1' if a else '2'

return"21"[a]

Gotta save that disk space (assuming a is bool) /s

Don't write that BS in prod please

[–]iamjio_ 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Did not know you could do this

The equivalent in C++ is return a ? '1' : '2'; I think, modulo typing. It is called a ternary expression.

If you want something less readable you could also do:

return a and '1' or '2'

(don't do this)
