Recently saw ? being used for parameters and have no clue what it exactly means or does.
example: function print(Message: string?)

Using ? in your typing means that the parameter is optional!
it means that the message parameter has to be a string if it is provided. If the ? was not there the argument would be required.

To summarize: Using the question mark symbol after the type notation, means the argument doesn’t need specification. It can be the said variable (e.g string, number, boolean), or nil.
