Below is a sample code that uses Null Coalescing Operator (??) in C# to find if the vaklue is null . If it is null , then a value of -1 is assigned .
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace ACSampleCode
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int ? input = null;
int retValue = input ?? -1;
Console.WriteLine(retValue);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
