case dependent variable assignment w/ ternary operator

[Simpel]

Hi.

Yesterday I read here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%3F) about ternary operator and it's different behaviour in programming languages.

At the end I assigned a variable with ternary operator depending on an other variable. That's what it looks like:

Local $sVehicleShort ='t'
Local $sVehicleLong = $sVehicleShort = 'b' ? 'bus' : _
                      $sVehicleShort = 'a' ? 'airplane' : _
                      $sVehicleShort = 't' ? 'train' : _
                      $sVehicleShort = 'c' ? 'car' : _
                      $sVehicleShort = 'h' ? 'horse' : _
                                             'feet'
ConsoleWrite('VehicleLong: ' & $sVehicleLong & @CRLF)

What would be the benefit of this over a traditional Switch? The Switch would definitely be more readable.
