Can I replace an if / else with two levels of ? :

Question

I have the following C# code:

        if (client.Action == "show")
        {
            result = "s";
        }
        else
        {
            result = answersCorrect ? "t" : "f";
        }

Is there a way I can remove the if and else and use two levels of ? and :

Sure, you can:

var result = client.Action == "show" ? "s" : (answersCorrect ? "t" : "f");

A good question to ask yourself, though, is whether this approach is more readable.
