Idiom #252 Conditional assignment

Assign to the variable x the value "a" if calling the function condition returns true, or the value "b" otherwise.

x := (if condition() then "a" else "b");

x := (if condition() then "a" else "b");

if condition() then
   x := "a";
else
   x := "b";
end if;

x = condition() ? "a" : "b";

x = if condition(), do: "a", else: "b"

x = condition() ? "a" : "b";

x = condition() ? "a" : "b";

var x = condition() ? "a" : "b";

X = case Condition() of
	true -> "a";
	false -> "b"
end

if (condition())
  x = a
else
  x = b
end if

if condition() {
	x = "a"
} else {
	x = "b"
}

x = if condition then 'a' else 'b'

let x | condition = "a"
      | otherwise = "b"

const x = condition() ? 'a' : 'b';

x = condition() ? "a" : "b";

val x = if(condition()) "a" else "b"

$x = condition() ? "a" : "b";

uses math;

x := ifthen(condition, a, b);

if condition then
  x := a
else
  x := b;

my $x = condition() ? "a" : "b";

x = "a" if condition() else "b"

x = condition ? "a" : "b"

x = if condition
      "a"
    else
      "b"
    end

x = if condition() { "a" } else { "b" };

Do you know the best way to do this in your language ? New implementation...
