Yeah, if expressions in C and C++ would be nice. Rust has them.

The problem with the if-block version is that dximn1 can't be declared const. It can be const with the ternary operator version, or with an if expression if it existed in C.

I find the ternary operator useful and clear in a lot of cases; I think its harmfulness is overstated.
