  • Try to remove) probably not needed - user31238
  • but will it not be without brackets to consider the verifiable condition of the ternary operator completely from assigning a variable to "?" ? type boolean canDelegate = (AFSession.get (). currentUser (). getSubstituteOf (). contains (participant) && reply == null)? (false): (reply.getPublishTime ()! = null); - Hex Hex Hex
  • Yes, brackets are needed - user31238

1 answer 1

The priority table clearly indicates that operator priority == higher than the ternary operator. It can also be confirmed by practical consideration:

 System.out.println(1 == 2 > 1 ? 2 : 1);

We get an error of incompatible types.

That is, first the statement > in the expression 2 > 1 executed.

Then the operator == executed in the expression 1 == true , which caused the error.

That is the answer: yes, brackets are needed.
