    regural if / else VS shorthand if / else and type of functions

    Hello forum ! i have a question !

    Which one do you recommend as "better" ? or it doesn't hurt ?


    Code:
    private void yes() {
    
        MessageBox.Show("Hah");
    
    }
    
    private void no() {
    
        MessageBox.Show("Hah");
    
    }
    
    if ( x > y ) { yes(); } else {  no(); }



    OR




    Code:
    private bool yes() {
    
        MessageBox.Show("Hah");
        return true;
    
    }
    
    private bool no() {
    
        MessageBox.Show("Hah");
        return true;
    
    }
    
    
    bool answer = ( x > y ) ? yes() : no();

    Thanks !

    Using the ternary operator (? only makes sense if you need to assign a value.

    It wouldn't be recommended return fake data from methods just to use the ternary operator.
