java - How to write nested ?: statements -

i shorten code use of ?: (if-else-then) comparative operator instead of using traditional if{}else{} blocks inconveniently tend take on screen. never taught operator, , appreciate regarding how nest multiple comparisons within 1 line.

this code shorten:

if(y<0)     y=0; else    if(y+h>s.getheight())         y = s.getheight()-h; 

i managed condense each condition (not nested):

y = (y<0) ? 0 : y; y = (y+h>s.getheight()) ? s.getheight()-h : y; 

is correct way nest it?

y = (y<0) ? 0 : ((y+h>s.getheight()) ? s.getheight()-h : y); 

thank you!

edit: given link post pertaining ?: operator. link. however, question has nesting instead of simple if statement. therefore, question not duplicate of post.

yes, correct syntax it's not readable.

you can check in java. this:

int = 3; int b = 5; string s = (a < b) ? "less b" : (a > b) ? "more b" : "equal b"; system.out.println(s); 

but code more readable if use if , if else statements. ? , : basic if statement. example:

int = 3; int b = 5; string s = (a == b) ? "equal" : "not equal" system.out.println(s); 

but in case, rather use if statement. don't see ? , : instead of if statement :)
