Quick conditional without return value Java

is there a way to make the "inverse" of this type of conditional?

For example, we have this conditional:

number = (max) ? a : b;

Instead of returning a value, I want to execute an action, without returning anything, for example:

(max) ? func1(a) :func2(a);

Is that possible? Does that make sense?

Thanks.

This is something you can just try. – But I'm Not A Wrapper Class Sep 10 '14 at 04:26

`if(max) func1(a); else func2(a);` can work, but it's not a good style in Java. If you absolutely want it to work, just ignore the `return` values for the two functions – But I'm Not A Wrapper Class Sep 10 '14 at 04:29
It doesn't work, since those functions returns `void`. At least eclipse show errors. – Maurício Giordano Sep 10 '14 at 04:32
Just give it a return type of `boolean`, then return `true` (or `false`) at the end of both functions. That way you can do this. `boolean trashVar = (max) ? func1(a) : funct2(a);` – But I'm Not A Wrapper Class Sep 10 '14 at 14:46
