Instead of using the Add method repeatedly to populate a generic list, you can use an object initializer to initialize the contents of the list when you declare it.
The object initializer used to initialize a generic list consists of a set of braces, with a comma-separated list of elements within the braces. If the list’s type is a reference type, each element in the list is instantiated using the new operator.
This use of an object initializer, in initializing a collection, is known as a collection initializer.
