[julia-users] ternary operator with return() gives (sometimes) errors

[andreas]

Dear list,

I observed that this

function foo(x)
    x <= 10 ? nothing : return(0)
    y = 2*x
    return(y)
end

works as expected, while that

function bar(x)
    x > 10 ? return(0) : nothing
    y = 2*x
    return(y)
end

throws an error: "ERROR: syntax: colon expected in "?" expression".

Is this an intended behavior?

Cheers,
Andreas
