+### Ternary Operators
+
+If you need a very short, simple, easy maintaining that work just like if else statement then php give you ternary operator. A very poweful but easy operator. It looks like this - (?:). Simple, right? Lets get to examle.
+
+Suppose you need to send a massage that if the user is logged in then say 'Hello user_name' if not then 'Hello guest'.
+
+if we use if-else statement:
+```
+if($user == !NULL {
+  $message = 'Hello '. $user; 
+} else {
+  $message = 'Hello guest';
+}
+```
+Using ternary operator:
+
+```
+$message = 'Hello '.($user == !NULL ? $user : 'Guest');
+```
+Both of them do exactly same thing. But the later one is easy for maintainance.
