The given code is a conditional (ternary) expression in C#. It determines a value for the variable statusSuffix based on specific conditions. Here's a step-by-step explanation of what it does:

1. It checks the condition c.DateInputted != null:

   • If c.DateInputted is not null, then statusSuffix is assigned an empty string ("").

2. If c.DateInputted is null, it evaluates the second condition: c.ProcessingDateReceived != null.

   • If c.ProcessingDateReceived is not null, then statusSuffix is assigned the string " - Pending".

3. If both c.DateInputted and c.ProcessingDateReceived are null, then statusSuffix is assigned the string " - Not Processed".

Summary

This code effectively sets statusSuffix to one of three possible values based on the null/non-null state of two properties (c.DateInputted and c.ProcessingDateReceived):

• "" if c.DateInputted is not null.
• " - Pending" if c.DateInputted is null but c.ProcessingDateReceived is not null.
• " - Not Processed" if both c.DateInputted and c.ProcessingDateReceived are null.
