Re: Ternary operator (there's no Trinary operator )

I've also heard it called the "tertiary operator", which has 1.6M hits on Google.

You have to put quotes around the words in Google to get a correct count on the phrase as a whole. With quotes, "tertiary operator" only returns 598 hits. (Without quotes you're getting hits on any page with both words in it, but not necessarily next to each other.) Remember: There's always one more bug.	[reply]

Do these same people call binary + a "secondary" operator and unary - a "primary" operator? emc e^(π√−1) = −1	[reply]
