On/Off, C#, and Ternary Logic
This past week I've been working on a step sequencer built in Silverlight. One of the requirements was that a 'step' change to a different color when it is active ( an on/off switch ). The simplest solution is this piece of code:
if (currentStatus == on)
{
status = off
}
else
{
status = on
}
While this works, it can be made more elegant using a ternary operator, and rewritten with just one line of code:
status = currentStatus == on ? off : on;
which in my case translates to:
myButton.Background = currentBrush.Color == greenBrush.Color ? blueBrush : greenBrush;
Again, this just says, if the current brush is green (currentBrush.Color == greenBrush.Color) make the background (myButton.Background) blue, else make it green.
