A = X > Y ? X : Y

[Stidolph, David]

I would think that this would be better because it eliminates a local
variable assignment.

def iif( condition, first, second ):
  if condition:
    return first
  else:
    return second

I know there's been a couple replies to this... but why not do something
like
VB's (or at least VBA's - not sure if VB proper has it) "immediate If"
function?

def iif( condition, first, second ):
    result = second
    if condition:
        result = first
    return result

then it's:

a = iif( a > y, x, y )
