Message emitted:

Consider rewriting as a ternary expression

Description:

Multiple assign statements spread across if/else blocks can be rewritten with a single assignment and ternary expression

Problematic code:

x, y = input(), input()
if x >= y:  # [consider-ternary-expression]
    maximum = x
else:
    maximum = y

Correct code:

x, y = input(), input()
maximum = x if x >= y else y
