Operator Name Example Result ?: Ternary $x = expr1 ? expr2 : expr3 Returns the value of $x. The value of $x is expr2 if expr1 = TRUE. The value of $x is expr3 if expr1 = FALSE ?? Null coalescing $x = expr1 ?? expr2 Returns the value of $x. The value of $x is expr1 if expr1 exists, and is not NULL. If expr1 does not exist, or is NULL, the value of $x is expr2.
