Nullable Modifier--from <Essential c# 2.0>

三句话总结：

        数值类型的变量不能使用null赋值；

       在变量类型前面加上 ？  表示该值为可空；

       使用时显示转换为iny型，进行运算时不执行运算，也就是值为空。

As I pointed out earlier, value typescannot be assigned null because, by definition, they can’t contain reference,including references to nothing.

However, this presents a problem in thereal world, where values are missing. When specifying a count, for example,what do you enter if the count is unknown? One possible solution is todesignate a “magic” value, such as 0 or int.Max, but these are valid integers. Rather,it is desirable to assign  null to thevalue type because this is not a valid integer.,

To declare variables that can store nullyou use the nullable modifier, ? . This c#2.0 feature appears in listing 2.17.

 

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      int? count;
      //count = null;
      count = 22;
      switch (count)
      {
        case null:
          Console.WriteLine("the value is null:" + count.ToString() + "!");
          break;
        default:
          Console.WriteLine("the value is not null:" + count.ToString() + "!");
          break;
      }
}
