[OT] - Help with translation of a JavaScript statement

I’ve been converting a JavaScript calculation to AppleScript, but I’m stymied by this line:

I understand that Math.pow(x, y) → x^y, but I don’t know what the boolean followed by a question mark means. I’m guessing that it means:

if s < 0 then
	set s to -(s ^ (1 / 3))
else
	set s to (s ^ (1 / 3))
end if

Is that correct?
