Use ternary operator

value1 = value2 == 0 ? value2 : value1 / value2;

ternary operator syntax is

condition?true statement:false satatement;

for your code use

value2 == 0? : value1 / value2;

the simplest way is just invert condition and using if statement only:

if(value2 != 0) {
  value1 = value1 / value2;
}

You don't need to take any action on value if value2 is 0, so you can write a ternary operator that assigns value1 to value1 if value2 is 0, and value1 / value2 otherwise, e.g.:

value1 = value2 != 0 ? value1 / value2 : value1;
