int availableUnits = unitsInStock ?? 0;


if (unitsInStock != null)

This is the null coalescing operator. It translates to: availableUnits equals unitsInStock unless unitsInStock equals null, in which case availableUnits equals 0.

It is used to change nullable types into value types.


The ?? operator returns the left-hand operand if it is not null, or else it returns the right operand.
