    I’m learning swift and I actually just discovered ?? today. Am I missing out in other languages?

      Yes, it’s very useful when applied correctly.

      I’m always disappointed when I remember, that I can’t use such a feature, because I’m stuck using Java.

        Maybe you’r using an older version of Java? Works fine for me.

          New versions of java have a null coalescing operator?

          I didn’t know that.

          Edit: a short search didn’t return any answers, as far as I can see java doesn’t have this operator, the closest thing is the ternary if operator.
