ternary operator - terribleopsecisterrible - Dec 15, 2017

i am having trouble understanding this statement using a ternary operator found in the partition method of the quicksort alg. what is the longer equivalent of this statement (not using ternary operator)?

Code 
i = (i == NULL) ? l : i->next;

thanks in advance.
