if s_star_raw is greater than s0 then s_star equals s_star_raw otherwise
s_star equals s0

The expression "(test) ? true_value : false_value" evaluates to true_value
if test is true, or false_value if not.

In other words, the above is equivalent to this:

   double s_star;
   if (s_star_raw > s0) {
       s_star = s_star_raw;
   } else {
       s_star = s0;
   }

I could give you the answer, but then what would you learn?  Here is a
clue.

The expression

a?b:c

provides a value of "b" if "a" is true, otherwise it provides a value of
"c".

(The double quotes I used are meant as separators and not as indicators of
a String).

This should be enough of a clue to figure it out.  If not, then you had
better back up and study Java some more.

Good Luck!
