Notice that in this example, we used ternary operator ?: inside string interpolation expression. Unlike other expression, it is enclosed in brakcets ().

Also, in this example a single sentence is broken into 5 separate statements. This is done only to make the code easier to read for the students. Otherwise, it is not a requirement.
