What's the Ruby equivalent of C ?: operator?

C has short conditional branch operator.

int a = 1 < 2 ? 3 : 4;

You can also use a whole if statement since it is also an expression:

a = if 1 < 2 then 3 else 4 end

or even:

a = if 1 < 2
      3
    else
      4
    end

a = true  ? 'a' : 'b' #=> "a"
