easy📝 Syntax Q3 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand the ternary syntax
The ternary operator in PowerShell 7+ uses the syntax:condition ? true-value : false-value.Step 2: Analyze each option
$result = $value -gt 10 ? 'Greater' : 'Lesser or Equal' correctly uses-gtfor comparison and the ternary operator with colon separating true and false values.
$result = if ($value -gt 10) { 'Greater' } else { 'Lesser or Equal' } uses an if-else statement, not the ternary operator.
$result = $value > 10 ? 'Greater' : 'Lesser or Equal' uses > which is valid in PowerShell but the ternary operator requires-gtfor clarity and consistency.
$result = $value -gt 10 ? 'Greater' ? 'Lesser or Equal' has two question marks, which is invalid syntax.Final Answer:
$result = $value -gt 10 ? 'Greater' : 'Lesser or Equal' -> Option CQuick Check:
