What is the purpose of a question mark after a type (for example: int? myVariable)?

Question

Typically the main use of the question mark is for the conditional, x ? \"yes\" : \"no\".

But I have seen another use for it but can\'t find an explanat

Answer 1

In

x ? "yes" : "no"

the ? declares an if sentence. Here: x represents the boolean condition; The part before the : is the then sentence and the part after is the else sentence.

In, for example,

int?

the ? declares a nullable type, and means that the type before it may have a null value.
