 I called it the 'tertiary' syntax which is not correct:
 
 to quote a page I found: "
 that the book refers to a "tertiary" operator, instead of a "ternary"
 operator. Of course, "tertiary" means third. "Ternary" means having
 three parts and is the correct way to describe the ?: operator.
 Alternatively, this operator could be described as "trinary".
