Switch Expression in C# 8

2  comments

Introduction

C# 8 introduce switch expression, an elegant and compact new way to write switch statements.

It's important to note that the switch expression is not a replacement to the classic switch statement but it can be used in the majority of the situations. What you can do with the switch expression can always be done with a switch statement but not the opposite. 

In this video, you will learn how you can convert a classic switch statement to the new syntax and the limitations of this new feature.

Conclusion

Honestly I think the switch expression is the best feature added to the C# 8 language. It's a feature that can greatly impact you code bases by making them easier to read. My recommendation is to always use switch expressions unless you hit a limitation and you are forced to rely on the old classic switch statement.
