#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(){
	int price = 100000;
	cout << "Total price : " << (price >= 90000) ? cout << (price / 5) * 4 : cout << price << endl;
	
	cin.get();
	return 0;
}


why the program is error ?
the output is 

196000


This make the program works...

cout << "Total price : ";
price >= 90000 ? cout << (price / 5) * 4 << endl : cout << price << endl;


but in java we can do directly on the print so the code is just 1 line

System.out.println(.... ? .... : ...);

is there any other way for c++ ?

cout << (price >= 90000) ? cout << (price / 5) * 4 : cout << price << endl;

shouldn't have cout first. shorthand if-else formats are usually

condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false

and with that, the code should have been

(price >= 90000) ? (cout << ((price / 5) * 4)) : (cout << price << endl);
