It is a ternary operator. See Writing Logic in FlexSim and ?: - Wikipedia

It is a shortcut way to write an if/else statement in one line.

In that code, if token.Shift == 1, then it will return token.Day + 1, otherwise it will return token.Day.

/**/ and /**direct*/ are commentary markup statements used by the popup GUI.
