Do nothing when “other side” of ternary operator is reached?

Question

Note: I\'ve seen this question asked sometimes before (a, b, c), but neither of these was in C#, nor helpful.

Assume I\'m using the ? : ternary

Answer 1

You can now achieve this using the Discard operator, if you really want to.

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        int r=5;
        _ = r==5 ? r=0 : 0;
        Console.WriteLine($"{r}");
        // outputs 0
    }
}

You can now also do

_=Foo() ? Bar() : Baz();

As long as Bar and Baz return the same or convertible type.
