Rewrite the following C program using Conditional / Ternary Operator.
Source Code: C Program To Determine Designation of Employee Based On Salary Using nested if else condition
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
float sal;
printf("Enter the salary\n");
scanf("%f", &sal);
if(sal >= 25000 && sal <= 40000)
{
printf("Manager\n");
}
else
if(sal >= 15000 && sal < 25000)
printf("Accountant\n");
else
printf("Clerk\n");
return 0;
}
Note: We need to rewrite the above C program using Ternary / Conditional Operator.

Ternary / Conditional Operator General Form
(expression_1) ? (expression_2) : (expression_3);
expression_1 is a comparison/conditional argument. expression_2 is executed/returned if expression_1 results in true, expression_3 gets executed/returned if expression_1 is false.
Ternary operator / Conditional Operator can be assumed to be shortened way of writing an if-else statement.
Expected Output for the Input
User Input:
Enter the salary
40000
Output:
Manager
Logic To Convert from if else To Conditional Operator
As you can see we’ve nested if else statement inside first else statement. So we’ll have nested conditional operator inside expression_3 of outer conditional operator.

Source Code: C Program To Determine Designation of Employee Based On Salary using Conditional Operator
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int sal;
printf("Enter the salary\n");
scanf("%d", &sal);
( sal >= 25000 && sal <= 40000 ) ?
printf("Manager\n") :
( sal >= 15000 && sal < 25000)?
printf("Accountant\n") :
printf("Clerk\n");
return 0;
}
Output 1:
Enter the salary
35000
Manager
Output 2:
Enter the salary
20000
Accountant
Output 3:
Enter the salary
10000
Clerk
Note: As you can see if you enter the salary as $40001 and above, it shows the designation as Clerk. That is because we’re not checking for salary above $40000. With the problem statement given above, we assume that this C program is for employees with salary less than $40000 and for designation Manager, Accountant and Clerk only.
