What is the idiomatic Go equivalent of C's ternary operator?

In C/C++ (and many languages of that family), a common idiom to declare and initialize a variable depending on a condition uses the ternary conditional operator :

int index = val > 0 ? val : -val

Go doesn't have the conditional operator. What is the most idiomatic way to implement the same piece of code as above ? I came to the following solution, but it seems quite verbose

var index int

if val > 0 {
    index = val
} else {
    index = -val
}

Is there something better ?

As pointed out (and hopefully unsurprisingly), using if+else is indeed the idiomatic way to do conditionals in Go.

In addition to the full blown var+if+else block of code, though, this spelling is also used often:

index := val
if val <= 0 {
    index = -val
}

and if you have a block of code that is repetitive enough, such as the equivalent of int value = a <= b ? a : b int value = a <= b ? a : b , you can create a function to hold it:

func min(a, b int) int {
    if a <= b {
        return a
    }
    return b
}

...

value := min(a, b)

The compiler will inline such simple functions, so it's fast, more clear, and shorter.

没有Go没有三元运算符，使用if / else语法是惯用的方式：http://golang.org/doc/faq#Does_Go_have_a_ternary_form

Suppose you have the following ternary expression (in C):

int a = test ? 1 : 2;

The idiomatic approach in Go would be to simply use an if block:

var a int

if test {
  a = 1
} else {
  a = 2
}

However, that might not fit your requirements. In my case, I needed an inline expression for a code generation template.

I used an immediately evaluated anonymous function:

a := func() int { if test { return 1 } else { return 2 } }()

This ensures that both branches are not evaluated as well.
