Hello there, perhaps it's just me, but I keep bumping into code like
foo.bar.bax!=null?foo.bar.bax:whatever Note that it cannot be replaced by an Elvis, for it would eat up falses (like numeric zeroes, empty strings etc.) In my personal opinion it would be nice to have a null-based Elvis for that. I am not sure what operator could be used, perhaps ??: -- or can anyone see something better? The functionality should be self-evident -- if the left side is non-null, it is the result (even if a false!) Otherwise the right side: 1??:2 == 1 0??:1 == 0 // unlike 0?:1 == 1 null??:1 == 1 'hi'??:'there' == 'hi' ''??:'val' == '' // unlike ''??:'val' == 'val' etc. All the best, OC
