Subtopic: conditional operators 
| Quote: in paper solutions to programming problems, AND mostly used for boolean conjunction, then sequencing [»paneJF2_2001]
| | Quote: in paper solutions, OR used much less frequently than AND; primarily for boolean disjuction, then clarification [»paneJF2_2001]
| | Quote: in paper solutions, 75% used AND incorrectly; e.g., "starts with G and L" instead of "G through L" [»paneJF2_2001]

Subtopic: conditional expressions
| Quote: C includes a conditional expression which is equivalent to an if..then..else [»ritcDM7_1978c]
| | Quote: in paper solutions with multiple options, 33% with mutually exclusive rules, 25% with general condition modified by exception [»paneJF2_2001]
| | Quote: in paper solutions, participants preferred mutually exclusive rules or a general case followed by exceptions; allow an 'unless' clause everywhere [»paneJF2_2001]
