Java: Ternary operator

Briefly

<predicate> ? <expression on true> : <expression on false>

// eg
number >= 0 ? number : -number;

---

Look at the definition of the function that returns the module of the transferred number:

public static int abs(int number) {
    if (number >= 0) {
        return number;
    }

    return -number;
}

Is it possible to write it more concisely? Something like return ANSWER DEPENDING ON CONDITION? To do this, there must be an expression to the right of return, but if is an instruction, not an expression.

In Java, there is a construct that is similar in its action to the if-else construct, but it is an expression. It is called a ternary operator.

The ternary operator is a unique operator requiring three operands:

public static int abs(int number) {
    return number >= 0 ? number : -number;
}

The general pattern is: <predicate> ? <expression on true> : <expression on false>.

Let's rewrite the initial version of getTypeOfSentence in the same way:

It was:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  getTypeOfSentence("Hodor"); // => normal
  getTypeOfSentence("Hodor?"); // => question
}

static String getTypeOfSentence(String sentence) {
    var lastChar = sentence.charAt(sentence.length() - 1);
    if (lastChar == '?') {
        return "question";
    }

    return "normal";
}

It became:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  getTypeOfSentence("Hodor"); // => normal
  getTypeOfSentence("Hodor?"); // => question
}

static String getTypeOfSentence(String sentence) {
  var lastChar = sentence.charAt(sentence.length() - 1);
  return (lastChar == '?') ? "question" : "normal";
}

---

If you remember what the power of expressions is, you probably already guessed that the ternary operator can be nested in the ternary operator. Do not do this:) Such code is hard to read and debug, this is a very bad practice.

Instructions

Implement the function convertString, which accepts a string as input and, if the first letter is not capitalized, returns the string repeated from the source string 2 times. If the first letter is capitalized, the string is returned unchanged.

Call examples:

convertString("Hello"); // => 'Hello'
convertString("hello"); // => 'hellohello'

You can repeat the line using the function repeat.

Try to write two variants of the function: with the usual if-else, and with the ternary operator.
