Difference between ? and ?? operators in C#

Difference between ? and ??

            The conditional operator (?:) returns one of two values depending on the value of a       Boolean expression. Following is the syntax for the conditional operator.

      condition ? first_expression : second_expression;    

              // ?: conditional operator.

            int input = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());           

            string classify = (input > 0) ? "positive" : "negative";

       The ?? operator is called the null-coalescing operator. It returns the left-hand operand if          the operand is not null; otherwise it returns the right hand operand.

            int? x = null;

            // Set y to the value of x if x is NOT null; otherwise,

            // if x = null, set y to -1.

            int y = x ?? -1;

Difference between as and is in C#

as	is
Is Operator is used to check the Compatibility of an Object with a given Type and it returns the result as a Boolean (True or false).	As Operator is used for Casting of Object to a given Type or a Class.
Ex: if (someObject is StringBuilder) ...	Ex: object x = 5; // int y = x as int; // not allowed becoz of int : value type int? y = x as int?; // allowed becoz of nullable type Ex.          Student s = obj as Student;                    is equivalent to: Student s = obj is Student ? (Student)obj : (Student)null;
	as operator should be used with Reference Type or nullable type
