Class TernaryToIfStatementConverter

java.lang.Object
org.codehaus.groovy.transform.tailrec.TernaryToIfStatementConverter
public class TernaryToIfStatementConverter extends Object
Since a ternary statement has more than one exit point tail-recursiveness testing cannot be easily done. Therefore this class translates a ternary statement (or Elvis operator) into the equivalent if-else statement.
