/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
 *
 * Exercise 2-10: Rewrite the function 'lower', which converts upper case
 * letters to lower case, with a conditional expression instead of if-else.
 *
 * Answer: The tertiary ?: operators also _evaluate_, so they can be used in
 * a lot of different places.
