possible to use conditional in subscripts?

[quodlibetor]

Hi, I'm trying to get something like this to work:

//vector V[5][5]

V[ if(x) I-1; else J; ][K]
V[I][ if(y) K-1; else L; ]

Only it throws errors at every conditional. Right now I'm just setting variables outside the subscripts but I don't like the way that looks and I want to know if what I want to do is possible, since it seems easier to read.

I've looked around and can't find anything, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ternary operator to the rescue:

V[ x ? I-1 : J ][ K ];
V[ I ][ y ? K-1 : L ];

Hope this helps.

Holy wow that's amazing!

Thanks for the fast response!

[edit]That got rid of 63 lines of code! AND it's more readable!
