Another way to simulate the ternary operator is this:
a = (quantity > 90 and "It is very huge") or "The value is correct"
You have to be careful of semantics of 'and' and 'or'. But in this case
I wonder why you don't just test whether quantity is greater than 90
and assign the corresponding value to a, e.g., :
if quantity > 90:
a = "It is huge"
else:
a = "Time for tea."
Clarity is a virtue, and simulating ternary operator doesn't always
serve that end.
