Can you explain what a conditional operator in the form of a ternary expression is?

The conditional operator in the form of a ternary expression is a compact way to write a condition and select one of two values depending on the truth of the condition.

In Python, the syntax looks like this:

result = value_if_true if condition else value_if_false

Example:

age = 18
status = "Adult" if age >= 18 else "Minor"
print(status)  # Outputs: Adult

This allows replacing a verbose if-else with a single line, making the code more concise.
