 * Program Name : Ternary Operator
 * File Name    : 012-Ternary-Operator.java
 * Class Name   : TernaryOperator
 *
 * Description:
 * This program demonstrates the use of the ternary operator in Java.
 * The ternary operator is a shorthand alternative to the if-else statement.
 * It evaluates a condition and returns one of two values depending on
 * whether the condition is true or false.
 *
 * Syntax:
 * condition ? expression1 : expression2;
 *
 * Objective:
 * - Understand the ternary operator in Java.
 * - Learn how to replace simple if-else statements using the ternary operator.
 * - Display the result based on a condition.
