<synopsis>(a <command><</command> b <command>?</command> v1 <command>:</command> v2)</synopsis>
<para>
where <emphasis>a</emphasis>, <emphasis>b</emphasis>, <emphasis>v1</emphasis> and <emphasis>v2</emphasis> may be expressions, but <emphasis>a</emphasis>, <emphasis>b</emphasis> not audio-rate.
</para>

<title>Performance</title>
<para>
In the above conditional, <emphasis>a</emphasis> and <emphasis>b</emphasis> are first compared. If the indicated relation is true (<emphasis>a</emphasis> less than <emphasis>b</emphasis>), then the conditional expression has the value of <emphasis>v1</emphasis>; if the relation is false, the expression has the value of <emphasis>v2</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
NB.: If <emphasis>v1</emphasis> or <emphasis>v2</emphasis> are expressions, these will be evaluated before the conditional is determined.
</para>
<para>
In terms of binding strength, all conditional operators (i.e. the relational operators (<emphasis><</emphasis>, etc.), and <emphasis>?</emphasis>, and <emphasis>:</emphasis> ) are weaker than the arithmetic and logical operators (<emphasis>+</emphasis>, <emphasis>-</emphasis>, <emphasis>*</emphasis>, <emphasis>/</emphasis>, <emphasis>&&</emphasis> and <emphasis>||</emphasis>).
</para>
<para>
These are <emphasis>operators</emphasis> not <emphasis>opcodes</emphasis>. Therefore, they can be used within orchestra statements, but do not form complete statements themselves.
