Conditional expression in ireport

Expression condition for the first in ireport for many usually seems awkward given that we have to leave behind our programming legacy of  IF ELSE and do it another way.

And here come the issue, suppose we have to define the following condition :

IF boolean condition THEN

 
     execute true code snippet

 ELSE

    execute false code snippet

 END IF

Ireport we will otherwise do it as follow:

 
( boolean condition ? execute true code snippet : execute false code snippet)

e.g:

if ( conVar > 0 )

     binVar= 1

else binVar= -1

Then becomes:

 (conVar > 0 ? binVar= 1: binVar=-1)

It the similar way we can express some complicated and nested conditions.
