I'm trying to write
$"This is { awesomeEnough ? "awesome" : "not awesome"}"
but I'm getting compiler error
CS1003 Syntax error, ':' expected
is it expecting behavior or bug?

The `:` delimits the expression from the formatting in interpolated strings so you have to force it to not think it's that delimiter by put the expression inside parenthesis `$"This is { (awesomeEnough ? "awesome" : "not awesome")}"` – juharr Apr 11 '17 at 11:48

Operator priority. Parenthesis should solve the problem
$"This is { (awesomeEnough ? "awesome" : "not awesome") }"

2The reason is not operator precedence - it's just that the colon gets interpreted as a separator for a format specifier – Bill Tür stands with Ukraine Apr 11 '17 at 11:52
