Getting a default value from a nullable
suggest changeThe .GetValueOrDefault()
method returns a value even if the .HasValue
property is false (unlike the Value property, which throws an exception).
class Program { static void Main() { int? nullableExample = null; int result = nullableExample.GetValueOrDefault(); Console.WriteLine(result); // will output the default value for int - 0 int secondResult = nullableExample.GetValueOrDefault(1); Console.WriteLine(secondResult) // will output our specified default - 1 int thirdResult = nullableExample ?? 1; Console.WriteLine(secondResult) // same as the GetValueOrDefault but a bit shorter } }
Output:
0 1
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
Let me know.
