ReportHello All,
Its good to meet you with yet another exciting tip and this time its around C#. With C# 6.0 there are many handy features introduced when it comes to day to day development.
One such feature is Null conditional operator. ?
Personally during c# development, I always felt that in C# we lack better null condition handlers and I had to develop my own extensions to handle the same. But the situation is upside down now and I am loving this new null conditional operator.
Lets go through a quick example with code snippet
Consider the following function where we are trying to replace a value in a string, here we handle null in a conventional way
With the latest version, we got our handy way to handle the null's and below is the updated code,
Hope this helps.
