C# equivalent to JavaScript "OR assignment"

Question

Does C# have an equivalent to JavaScript's assignment syntax var x = y || z;? In case you don't know, the result is not true/false. If y is defined, then it is assigned to x, otherwise z is assigned to x even if it is undefined.

Note that in JavaScript the variable still has to be declared: var test;

Answer 1

I think that you are looking for ?? operator.
