Neither of the proposed dupes addresses the OP's question. The problem they address deals with using non-expression statements on the RHS. The OP's problem is caused by the absence of the LHS.

This is because in C all expressions can be made into expression-statements by adding a semicolon ;.
In Java not all expressions can be made into expression statements. They must be assignment expressions, use postfix/prefix operators, be method invocations, or new expressions. See more here
Further, a ternary operator in Java requires that each operand be a non void expression and the value returned must be assigned.
