Thread: Ternary inside If

Hi there,
I hope it's okay I keep asking newbie's quesitons... I really appreciate the great answers and it really helps me understand better.

I'm trying to mix a Ternary inside an If statement and I can't understand what's the problem in my synthax as the result is somehow distorted...

I know it's easier with instead of the Ternary, just to use If Else but I'm trying to play with to learn...
insert

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

    int num;
    int i;
    int elementsNum;
    int even;


        printf("How many numbers would you like to test?\n");
        scanf(" %d", &elementsNum);

        for(i=1 ; i <= elementsNum ; ++i ){
                printf(" %d is %s even number\n", i , (i % 2 == 0) ? ("an even number") : ("an odd number") );
            }

    return 0;
}

You're right, sorry, I meant Ternary instead of If statement... I was trying to avoid the If by putting this Ternary inside the printf...
What you wrote is indeed the gibberish that it gives me... What do you mean by not writing format strings to match up?

Yes, I now certainly see it and understand it... Thank you very much!
