what does ?? mean in dart code example

Example: dart ?? operator

int val1;
final int val2 = 20;

console.log(val1 ?? val2); //result => 20 because val1 is null

----------------------------------

final int val1 = 30;
final int val2 = 20;

console.log(val1 ?? val2); //result => 30 because val1 is not null
