    Using Conditional Expressions.

    Is it possible to convert this if statement into a conditional expression? is it worth it?

    Code:
     
        if(newIndex)
            s[newIndex-1] = '\0';
            
        else
            s[newIndex] = '\0';
    thx.

    Code:
    s[newIndex ? newIndex-1 : newIndex] = '\0';
    It's up to you to determine if that's readable enough to be worth the savings.
