VB to C# conversion error (assign and if statements)

Question

what is the proper way to convert

if((year mod 4=0 and year mod 100<>0) or (year mod 400=0), “Leap Year”, “Not a Leap Year”)

To C#

I was able to successfully convert the first part if ((year % 4 == 0 & year % 100 != 0) | (year % 400 == 0)) but when I add the messages, I get an error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The equivalent of that VB If operator is the C# ternary operator (?:), i.e.

If(x, y, z)

is equivalent to:

x ? y : z;

For the record, there's another If operator like this:

If(x, y)

which evaluates to x if x is not null, otherwise it evaluates to y. The C# equivalent is called the null coalescing operator (??):

x ?? y;
