Subject: [ruby-core:106889] [Ruby master Feature#18332] a ? b

Issue #18332 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


`??` is a character literal.
As omitting the `:` and after makes the syntax value conflicting of course, I don't think this is acceptable.

----------------------------------------
Feature #18332: a ? b
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18332#change-95694

* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
It would be a shortcut for `a ? b : nil`:

e.g.

```
"#{current_path == "/" ? "font-bold"}"
"#{user.admin? ? "text-red-600"}"
```

Doing `a && b` returns `false` which converted to a string gives `"false"`.

When `nil` converts to a string it gives `""`.

I would use it mostly in string interpolations.
