The basic syntax for using ternary operator is like this    condition     if true     if false    For you case it is like this   number  lt  0   bigInt sign   0   bigInt sign   1

Yes   bigInt sign     number  lt  0     The   operator always evaluates to true or false   When converted to int  these become 1 and 0 respectively   Of course this is equivalent to   bigInt sign    number  gt   0     Here the parentheses are redundant but I add them for clarity  All of the comparison and relational operator evaluate to true or false

Depending on how often you use this in your code you could consider the following   macro   define SIGN x     x   gt   0     Inline function  inline int sign int x        return x  gt   0      Then you would just go   bigInt sign   sign number
