为什么要用这样的东西:

when(a) {
  true -> b
  false -> b
}

当你实际上可以使用这样的东西(在这种情况下，a是布尔值):

when {
  a -> b
  else -> b
}

when替换c类语言的切换操作符。最简单的形式是这样的

when (x) {
    1 -> print("x == 1")
    2 -> print("x == 2")
    else -> {
        print("x is neither 1 nor 2")
    }
}

使用以下中缀函数，我可以覆盖许多常见的用例，几乎与在Python中实现的方式相同:

class TestKotlinTernaryConditionalOperator {

    @Test
    fun testAndOrInfixFunctions() {
        Assertions.assertThat(true and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("yes")
        Assertions.assertThat(false and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("no")

        Assertions.assertThat("A" and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("yes")
        Assertions.assertThat("" and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("no")

        Assertions.assertThat(1 and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("yes")
        Assertions.assertThat(0 and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("no")

        Assertions.assertThat(Date() and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("yes")
        @Suppress("CAST_NEVER_SUCCEEDS")
        Assertions.assertThat(null as Date? and "yes" or "no").isEqualTo("no")
    }
}

infix fun <E> Boolean?.and(other: E?): E? = if (this == true) other else null
infix fun <E> CharSequence?.and(other: E?): E? = if (!(this ?: "").isEmpty()) other else null
infix fun <E> Number?.and(other: E?): E? = if (this?.toInt() ?: 0 != 0) other else null
infix fun <E> Any?.and(other: E?): E? = if (this != null) other else null
infix fun <E> E?.or(other: E?): E? = this ?: other

在Kotlin中没有三元运算符。乍一看，这似乎有问题。但是我们可以用内联if else语句因为这是表达式。我们要做的就是

var number = if(n>0) "Positive" else "Negetive"

这里我们可以用else if来阻塞我们需要的太多。像- - - - - -

var number = if(n>0) "Positive" else if(n<0) "Negative" else "Zero"

这一行比三元运算符简单易读。当我们在Java中使用多个三元运算符时，这看起来很可怕。但是这里我们有一个清晰的语法。甚至我们也可以把它写成多行。

在使用apply()时，let在处理三元操作时似乎非常方便，因为它更优雅，并为您提供了空间

val columns: List<String> = ...
val band = Band().apply {
    name = columns[0]
    album = columns[1]
    year = columns[2].takeIf { it.isNotEmpty() }?.let { it.toInt() } ?: 0
}

在Kotlin中，你可以像这样使用三元运算:"add b" else "add c"
