bool? res = count ?? 0 >= 0;
In today's presentation, Anders introduced some new syntax (to me) for nullable types. It goes like this: if you have a value variable (struct or simpler) that could get null values, you declare it like this:
int? intThatCouldBeNull;
So that later you could ask:
if (intThatCouldBeNull == null) ...
And we also get a coalesce operator:
int res = intThatCouldBeNull ?? 0;
This will assign 0 to res only if intThatCouldBeNull is indeed null. One caveat: if you compare two nulls the result is true. I would've expect the result to be null also, but they gave me good reasons for not being so. The debate is open though...
