Question

Hi, I know that the question mark can be used to

check for item not being null,
Same as:

Action action;
Void execute() => action?.Invoke();

How is this different from :

Void execute() => action!.Invoke();

using exclamation mark instead?

my understanding is that "!" is the point where - before that the value could be null - after that, the compiler can consider that the expression (value!) is not null (in a #nullable enabled code) - at the time of ! if the value is null, it raise a NullRefException

it's not just that. it's really an NRT-warning forgiving operator: List<string?> a = new(); List<string> b = a.ToList()!;

so what happens if 'a' contained null elements, and you access them in b?
