    I understand inline if as:

    `if (something) doSomething();`

    And ternary as:

    `return cool ? "Cool" : "Not cool";`

    Or are the names interchangeable?

    🤔

    I'm su bad at ternary operators. It's not inherently obvious whether the true statement goes first or the false one.

    Trying to understand inline lambdas in C++ is worse and you might end up shooting yourself

    @bdhobare we have them as function arguments in our source code. I think that they suck for different reasons, though. They're rare enough that I just Google the syntax for a refresher if I need it.

    If not abused, it makes the code more readable in my opinion. What you should never do is to nest ternary operations, THAT is confusing.
