/*WHY IT IS GIVING ERROR AS L-Value Required..but when we rewrite as y==1?n=0:(n=1); code will work */
#include<stdio. h>

void main()

int n,y=1;
clrscr();
y==1?n=0:n=1;

In the above example you are assigning value 1 to expression y==1?n=0:n instead of n,so it is giving error when you keep it in bracket y==1?n=0:(n=1); then you are assigning 1 to n as an alternative condition .
