Yes, Python does have a ternary conditional operator. The syntax for the ternary conditional operator in Python is:



value_if_true if condition else value_if_false
Here's an example:




x = 5

result = "Even" if x % 2 == 0 else "Odd"


print(result)
In this example, we have a variable x with the value of 5. We use the ternary conditional operator to check if x is even or odd, and assign the result to the variable result. The condition x % 2 == 0 checks if x is divisible by 2, and if it is, the value " Even " is assigned to result . If the condition is false, the value " Odd " is assigned to result .

When the code runs, the output will be:


Odd

It's important to keep in mind that the ternary conditional operator should only be used for simple conditions and expressions, as using it for complex logic can make the code harder to read and maintain.
