Question

I have variable with below

 int? a=null ; string? b= null;

I need to assign a=b ;

What is best way to assign in c# 9

a= Convert.ToInt32(b);

It is assigning 0 ..hw to assign null if string also null.. i need to know in c# 9

EDIT: Thanks to @john.. i ended up with below code

 if(b is not null) a = Convert.ToInt32(b);

I would just be very explicit about it:

int? a = b is null ? null : Convert.ToInt32(b);
