I'm assuming that extra 0 stuck in there after hi is a typo?

Yea, I was typing kinda/pretty fast then.

what i've just written is equivalent to this:

  	int hi = 0;
 
 if(hi) return 1;
 
 else return 0;

basically, the code

 	a ? b : c;

means "replace this with b is a is true, otherwise, replace this with c"

Thanks, that really clears it up (also thanks to you Jay ).

It might make if-case statements more easier
