Revert his changed yours is better and more readable, because his is 5x as long for the same logic

I could see a reason being legibility, but also fuck teammates that don’t communicate.

Wouldn’t rand # & mod combo compile faster than nextBoolean?

Something I like doing is splitting the ternary operator over multiple lines. Best of both worlds. Like this: return random.nextBoolean() ? a : b;

The first line isn’t even that hard to understand and is a lot cleaner. Your teammate is crazy

No it's not, maybe if you're a sophomore, but anyone who is more than a novice coder can tell what a ternary expression is at a glance, and it has way less cognitive load to read and process than something 5 lines longer

Now nesting ternary expressions gets hairy and hard to read fast, but one like this is almost always more readable than the long form. Especially when all the expressions involved are this short

The one liner is way quicker to read. I don’t think we should stop using ternary operators just because some people are too lazy to understand what they mean even though it’s ridiculously simple
