Why not ask them then? If they "helped", they should be able to tell you quite easily what it is and why they did it that way.

It's a ternery operator - shorthand for if/else.

echo ( $info['Ans_Answer'.$i]) ? " checked" : "";

Is short for:

if($info['Ans_Answer'.$i]){
  echo " checked";
}else{
  echo "";
}
