in reply to Ternary operator (there's no Trinary operator )

I think someone should look what the operator is called in the English original of K&R, and we should probably stick to that term. (If it's always referred to as something like, say, "conditional operator" then we're out of luck.)

    My copy of K&R (second edition) says 'ternary operator':

    "The conditional expression, written with the ternary operator ``?:'', provides an alternate way to write this and similar constructions."
