[ FlexSim 21.2.2 ]

i was going through one model on Time table and i saw a code there, which i dont know how to read in FlexScript. can someone elaborate what does the following code does and and what is the meaning of keywords and symbols used in it.

return /**/token.Shift == 1 ? token.Day + 1 : token.Day/**direct*/;

what is the meaning of "?" and ":" in the above code.

It is a ternary operator. See Writing Logic in FlexSim and ?: - Wikipedia

It is a shortcut way to write an if/else statement in one line.

In that code, if token.Shift == 1, then it will return token.Day + 1, otherwise it will return token.Day.

/**/ and /**direct*/ are commentary markup statements used by the popup GUI.
