Shorter, more pythonic way of writing an if statement

Question

I have a code:

ab = 'off'

if b.page == 'blog':
    ab = 'on'

print ab

Is there any other way to make it shorter in Python?

Answer 1

You can use the ternary operator to write multiple if-else statements in a single line. Here is the syntax to use the ternary operator:

[output on_true]  if  [expression]  else  [output on_false] 

Here is the shortest python code to write an if statement:

ab= 'on' if c.page=='blog' else 'off'
