Question about "X = (X > 200) ? 199 :Y ;"

Hy
I found on net this paragraph:

This is standard C. Every C textbook will have it. It's called a 'conditional expression'

You shouldn't have to change it to work with CCS, it'll work as it is.

The statement (test)?expr1:expr2

Evaluates 'test'. If test is true, it returns expr1, if not, it returns expr2.

In some cases, it can be done slightly smaller/faster than an 'if, since there only has to be one set of code to 'write' to the target variable.

So in your example, if x is > 200, the code returns 199, otherwise it returns Y.
This return is then put into X.

The actual syntax used seems slightly 'odd'. I'd have expected (for example), as a way of limiting a return value to 199:
