Short cut (without if) 1

[dickiebird]

Rather than use if ...then...fi, can ksh use the comparison short-cut that's used in C ? ( using ? and : )
I do a check on a count to roll from 1 to 99 - so can I do :

cty=($cty < 99 ? cty++ : cty=1)
echo $cty

TIA

a short form of &quot;if the else&quot; can be used

[[ $cty -lt 99 ]] && (( cty+=1 )) || (( cty=1 ))

ksh93 supports the ?: construct ?:
