Not only in Java, this syntax is available within PHP, Objective-C too. In the following link it gives the following explanation, which is quiet good to understand it: A ternary operator is some operation operating on 3 inputs. It's a shortcut for an if-else statement, and is also known as a conditional operator. In Perl/PHP it works as:

The diamond operator in java 7 allows code like the following: List<String> list = new LinkedList<>(); However in Java 5/6, I can simply write: List<String> list = new LinkedList(); My understanding of type erasure is that these are exactly the same. (The generic gets removed at runtime anyway). Why bother with the diamond at all? What new functionality / type safety …

The binary representation of 4 is 0100.

Java has 5 different boolean compare operators: &, &&, |, ||, ^ & and && are "and" operators, | and || "or" operators, ^ is "xor" The single ones will check every parameter, regardless of the values, before checking the values of the parameters. The double ones will first check the left parameter and its value and if true (||) or false (&&) leave the second one untouched. Sound …
