Scala doesn't have a ternary operator as well.

I haven't used Scala before. What is their reasoning for that?

In Scala everything is an expression so you just use an if statement:

    val foo = if(x) y else z

Thanks. It makes sense because it doesn't have statement. Ternary operator wasn't going to be possible.
