+
+Short form for conditionals; read "if `a`, evaluate `b` otherwise evaluate `c`".
+Also known as the [ternary operator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%3F:).
+
+This syntax is equivalent to `if a; b else c end`, but is often used to
+emphasize the value `b`-or-`c` which is being used as part of a larger
+expression, rather than the side effects that evaluating `b` or `c` may have.
+
+See the manual section on [control flow](@ref man-conditional-evaluation) for more details.
+
+# Examples
+```
+julia> x = 1; y = 2;
+
+julia> println(x > y ? "x is larger" : "y is larger")
