In C++, an if statement can use a conditional expression that resolves to a numeric value. The statement following theif statement will execute when this expression resolves to any non-zero value. This form of the if statement is not allowed in C#.
1
2
3
4
5
6

| uint leaves = CountLeavesInBackyard();// Works in C++, but is not allowed in C#if (leaves){ RakeLikeHeck();} |
Since the if statement must use a boolean expression in C#, we’d rewrite the code as:
1
2
3
4
| if (leaves > 0){ RakeLikeHeck();} |
