var

Implicitly typed local variable. The compiler infers the type from the initializer. The type is still static and fixed at compile time.

Syntax

csharp

var variableName = value;

Example

csharp

var count = 42;              // int
var name = "Alice";          // string
var items = new List<int>(); // List<int>
var dict = new Dictionary<string, int>();

// Useful for complex types:
var query = from u in users where u.Active select u;
