在Kotlin中，if是一个表达式，即它返回一个值。因此 没有三元操作符(条件?然后:else)，因为 普通的如果在这个角色中表现得很好。这里的手动源代码

// Traditional usage 
var max = a 
if (a < b) max = b

// With else 
var max: Int
if (a > b) {
    max = a
} else {
    max = b
}

// As expression 
val max = if (a > b) a else b

Java

int temp = a ? b : c;

相当于Kotlin:

var temp = if (a) b else c

(x:Int,y:Int):字符串= if (x>y)"max = $x" else "max = $y"

内联funcation

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
}

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

正如德鲁·诺克斯引用的，kotlin使用if语句作为表达式， 所以三元条件运算符不再是必要的，

但是使用扩展函数和中缀重载，你可以自己实现，这里有一个例子

infix fun <T> Boolean.then(value: T?) = TernaryExpression(this, value)

class TernaryExpression<out T>(val flag: Boolean, val truly: T?) {
    infix fun <T> or(falsy: T?) = if (flag) truly else falsy
}

然后像这样使用它

val grade = 90
val clazz = (grade > 80) then "A" or "B"
