 Are there any non-conditional ternary operators?  As asked [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37281698/are-there-ternary-operators-that-arent-some-form-of-a-conditional-operator|here]], The answer there suggests that no, there are no ternary operators, and you might as well call a function.  Are there any non-conditional ternary operators?  As asked [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37281698/are-there-ternary-operators-that-arent-some-form-of-a-conditional-operator|here]], The answer there suggests that no, there are no ternary operators, and you might as well call a function. 
  
 However, upon thinking more, unary and binary operators make sense because they naturally split a linear progression of text.  A binary operator conjoins the "left" and "right" text.  A ternary operator doesn't exactly fit into this model.  However, a quartary (4 way) operator would make sense if code was 2 dimensional.  The arguments to the operator above and below, not just left and right, would be included.   However, upon thinking more, unary and binary operators make sense because they naturally split a linear progression of text.  A binary operator conjoins the "left" and "right" text.  A ternary operator doesn't exactly fit into this model.  However, a quartary (4 way) operator would make sense if code was 2 dimensional.  The arguments to the operator above and below, not just left and right, would be included.
