it means this:
var x = (a == null) ? null : a.b.c
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

They've clearly defined what it means and it's a construct that we've written many times in its extended form. I don't really see why this will introduce bugs, if anything it will reduce them because it's not that hard to write the ternary wrong (e.g. get the condition backwards).
|
|
|
|
|
If type 'c' is an integer, and 'a' is null do you expect x to be null, or 0?
|
|
|
|
|
I'd expect that to be a compile time error to be honest, but if it's permitted then it should be default(c.GetType()) i.e. 0. It couldn't be null because the type of myString?.Length is int, not int?.
|
|
|
|
|
I also think it should be default(c.getType()) - we shall wait and see.

I remember the first time I saw a universal remote control...I thought to myself "Well this changes everything".
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Ah yes.... the good old days. I remember how disappointed I was the first time I used mine. I clicked the "Delete" button and the universe was still there...

When I clicked the delete button on mine my ex disappeared, how I miss that remote!

I've just had to install Firefox for testing a customer problem. Google search, get one near the top that looks official, and I'm taken to something called EZ-Download Manager where I am forced to Decline around 10 or so toolbars and other crapware/malware! Now I see how all that crap winds up on other people's computers! However, after navigating through all the questions, here it is, and it looks really nice! Now, excuse me...I have some bugs to find!

When I want to download the newest Firefox version, there is only one place:
Mozilla[^]
I would avoid getting it from any other source, at all costs

I accidentally did something similar. Except I misinterpreted the installation process and got all that malware on my work PC. I was so embarrassed and spent the next 2 hours cleaning it up. It even installed onto chrome and ie as well 
I'm still not sure it is clean yet... all I wanted was Firefox, firebug, and yslow.

Thanks! Since I am not seeing the problems my customer is reporting, I may need to pin it down to a particular release.
How does a spamware/crapware/toolbaraddon/malware purveyor wind up higher in the search results than the official download site?  Money?

First 3 hits when I google for firefox are ads. They're marked by an ad icon.
I tried binging it; only one scum sucker had bought an add at the top; and it was styled differently enough that it was more obviously something different than the content below.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Suppose I created some libraries at work that we use thoroughly because they are awesome.
And suppose I wanted to use them for private projects and maybe even professionally (just not at work where I created them).
Would it be allright for me to just copy/paste those libraries to my own computer?
Why would I think this might not be a problem?
First of all I used the internet to create those libraries. Very few code is literally copy/pasted, but the code isn't completely mine either (and so not completely my companies', or maybe it is...).
Secondly, I am the only one who wrote those libraries and the only one who knows how they work internally. I could re-create them at home in a couple of days.
I even took some code from home and used it at work, although there is no way of proving this.
For now I am fine with not having these libraries at home. If I really wanted them I could probably ask my boss and he'd be okay with it.
I think legally if I took these libraries and my employer found out he could sue me and I'd be in big trouble (although it might be hard to prove I actually took those libraries and not re-created them, especially when I change some variable names etc.).
I was just wondering how people here think about this, personally (as opposed to legally).
Does anyone have experience with such matters?

Generally, if you made those libraries on company time, on company computer, with company licensed tools... then you would be stealing. You have already been compensated for their creation (that is how it works everywhere I have been).
