Hidden Features of C#? [closed]

Answer 1

The @ tells the compiler to ignore any escape characters in a string.

Just wanted to clarify this one... it doesn't tell it to ignore the escape characters, it actually tells the compiler to interpret the string as a literal.

If you have

string s = @"cat
             dog
             fish"

it will actually print out as (note that it even includes the whitespace used for indentation):

cat
             dog
             fish
