Conditional expressions

Pick between two values in one line with x if condition else y, and know when a full if statement reads better.

You will be able to

• Write a conditional expression of the form value_if_true if condition else value_if_false
• Use a conditional expression inside an assignment or an f-string
• Explain how a conditional expression groups with + and other operators
• Recognise when a conditional expression hurts readability and rewrite it as an if statement
