On Portability

[William E. Davidsen Jr]

  Another thing to avoid is use of the triadic operator to return
expressions of differing types for true and false. Some compilers won't,
and some silently do it wrong. I've never seen one that didn't work as
expected when a cast was used.

ie. m += (a < b ? 0x221 : 14.2);
