Message: [QUOTE="Alex Fenton, post: 4483380"] That's a cute idea. I do find myself writing code like something.zero? ? x : y But presently there's nothing "special" about method names that end in "?" - it's only conventional that they return a boolean, and they don't necessarily have no arguments. In your example some_method? a : b how does ruby and the reader distinguish whether 'a' is 1) the first option for the ternary operator's return value or 2) the first argument to some_method? As an example, this syntax doesn't look quite so appealing... an_array.include? val x : y alex [/QUOTE]
