<programming> A description of an operator taking three
arguments. The only common example is C's ?: operator which
is used in the form "CONDITION ? EXP1 : EXP2" and returns EXP1
if CONDITION is true else EXP2. Haskell has a similar "if
CONDITION then EXP1 else EXP2" operator.
See also unary, binary.
