## [Java] Class ElvisOperatorExpression

- org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.ElvisOperatorExpression

-     public class ElvisOperatorExpression
      extends TernaryExpression

  Represents a short ternary expression x ?: y, which is equal to

       def truePart = x
       def booleanPart = truePart as boolean
       booleanPart? truePart : y

  Even if x is no atomic expression, x will be evaluated only once. Example:

       class Foo {
         def index=0
         def getX(){ index++; return index }
       }
       def foo = new Foo()
       def result = foo.x ?: "false case"
       assert foo.index == 1
       assert result == 1
