I'd take a not or "if not" operator tbh.

It has a not keyword it's used for pattern matching.

if (x is not null)

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

It also has a !=.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

Pattern matching is different.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I just said it since you used it with null. I used it a lot for enums

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The type matching is the most common thing I use it with. Combined with inline variables.

if (x is string { Length: 5} s)
{
    // do stuff with s
}

And switch expressions.

As a side note inline variables are amazing haha
