Putting a simple if-then-else statement on one line

How do I write an if-then-else statement in Python so that it fits on one line? For example, I want a one line version of: if count == N: count = 0 else: count = N + 1 In Objective-C, I would write this as: count = count == N ? 0 : count + 1;
That's more specifically a ternary operator expression than an if-then, here's the python syntax value_when_true if condition else value_when_false Better Example: (thanks Mr. Burns) 'Yes' if fruit == 'Apple' else 'No' Now with assignment and contrast with if syntax fruit = 'Apple' isApple = True if fruit == 'Apple' else False vs fruit = 'Apple' isApple = False if fruit == 'Apple' : isApple = True
