On another note all blocks should use {}, spaces instead of tabs. 2 spaces is the perfect amount of indent.

void mmm(int i, String[] sss) {
 if (i < 0) {
    i = 0;
 }

 if (sss == null) {
   sss = new String[0];
 }
}

I agree that an if/else is more readable, but in some situations the ?: is 
better.

For example I use it to "normalize" method parameters:

void mmm(int i,String[] sss)
{
        i = i < 0 ? 0 : i;
        sss = sss == null ? new String[0] : sss;
        ...
}

The above is much more concise than:

void mmm(int i,String[] sss)
{
        if( i < 0 )
                i = 0;

        if( sss == null )
                sss = new String[0];
}

and I don't find it any less readable...

Sure enough in other cases an if/else is much better!!!

I think that using an if/.else statement is much more readable than the ?: operator.

It's just another one of those coding religious wars such as if the { should be on the same or the next line.
