This is a url request notation. Generally it is in this format www.youtube.com/?v=something.
"/?" What is after the question mark symbol are the queries
all the queries can be separated by "&" symbol
for example
suppose I am fetching data from a weather website. Then I will write www.nameofwebsite/?place=London&unit=metric
This means that I want to fetch data from the website "name of website" where the place is London and the unit of data is "metric"
