Is there a way in C# to use "var foo" but still having a named tuple?

(int first, int second) foo = "bar" switch
{
    _ => (0, 0)
};

Maybe some place where the switch itself can define the return type?

CodePudding user response：

You can put a cast before the switch:

var foo = ((int first, int second))("bar" switch
{
    _ => (0, 0)
});

Or you can cast each arm of the switch (you'd have to do this for each arm):

var foo = "bar" switch
{
    _ => ((int first, int second))(0, 0)
};

or specify the names of the tuple elements in each arm (again, you'd have to do this for each arm):

var foo = "bar" switch
{
    _ => (first: 0, second: 0)
};

But either way, this is longer than using (int first, int second) foo, so I don't recommend this.
