Well it is like an if statement, it's name is the conditional operator in
C++, probably the same in java.

So if you wanted to convert it into an if statement it would look like this.

Code:

 
 if(h>= 0 && h < 24)
{
    hour = h;
}
else
{
    hour = 0;
}

It is very handy for keeping the code nice and neat, i use it very often as a result. So the stuff infront of the ? is the condition that must be met in order for it to be true and for hour to = h, the stuff after : is the false part and hour will be assigned 0.
