The ? is part of the ternary conditional operator ?: in C. It is used like this :
(cond) ? if_true : if_false
and resolves to if_true if cond is true, and to if_false if cond is false.
The V and upside down V symbols are logic operators, and they stand for the logical OR (V) and AND (upside down V) respectively.
