Key ideas in C# Mastery: Beyond the Basics
- Pattern matching combines type checks and property access
- Switch expressions must be exhaustive
- Traditional if-statements require separate checks
- Missing cases cause runtime exceptions
- Pattern matching reduces nesting
- Relational patterns use standard comparison symbols
- Switch expressions are designed to return a value directly
- Logical keywords like 'and' and 'or' combine multiple range checks
- Expressions are more concise than statements for simple assignments
- The consequence of missing a scenario in a switch expression
- Property patterns allow checking values inside curly braces
- Mapping relational patterns to their logical equivalents
- The 'is' keyword can check the type and the property at once
- Checking type and value simultaneously
- Specific property matches must come before general type matches
- When to prefer a switch expression over a statement
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives C# Mastery: Beyond the Basics the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
When we say a switch expression must be 'exhaustive,' what does that imply for your code?
