What is the counterpart for expression `?value1:value2` in ruby?

I want to know what the counterpart is in Ruby for this kind of expression:

var status=false;
var xx=new Obj(xx,status?"0":"1",status?"2":"3");

I tried the same in Ruby, but it seems that the syntax:

status?"23":nil

does not work.

Put a space between status and ?. Seems that it might get parsed as a method name status?. Also, don't terminate your sentences with semicolons. And don't use var.

x = status ? "0" : "1"

Method names can end with question marks, so use more spaces:

status ? "23" : nil

Equivalently you could write:

("23" if status)
