Question question on three small maths functions

Very basic questions but hard to find in google!
The part of the formula where it says "2.*log". I belive the "dot" only represnts that the number 2 is 2.0. However, I am not 100% sure about this as I actually dont see the reason to put "2." instead of just "2" So, does the "dot" indicate 2.0 or does it represent something else?
Second basic question:
What does the "?" mean and what does the ":" mean.
Thanks alot

1) yes, 2. just means 2.0
2) That is just a shorthand if-else statement. You have to be careful with that because occasionally I've found that it doesn't work correctly.
