Sorry. We were talking about "tricky" code. I didn't mean to imply that having if-then-else on one line was tricky. Simply that the example that was used (that I've long forgotten) took a multi-line if-then-else construct (it may have even been nested) into a single - very tricky - line. IIRC it relied fairly heavily on both Boolean logic and parentheses.
