[.NET] Use collection expressions in docs #100685
Conversation
As of C# 12 we can now use collection expressions to reduce some boilerplate when initializing collections.
| GD.Print(array[0]); // Prints "First" | ||
| GD.Print(array[2]); // Prints 3 | ||
| GD.Print(array[array.Count - 1]); // Prints "Last" | ||
| GD.Print(array[^1]); // Prints "Last" |

Is this common knowledge? As a not particularly savvy C# developer, I don't find this shorthand to be more understandable at a glance. Of course, code style is up to you though.

I would say so, it's at the very least equivalent to GDScript's negative indexes, which I don't find any easier to understand.
But I imagine the reason why the GDScript example uses negative indexes is to teach users that they can use them to access elements from the end of the array. In a similar way, we can use the C# example to teach them how to do the same thing in C#. So it probably doesn't matter if they're not familiar with this syntax.
Not being familiar with C# versioning but what is the minimum version we support? Is C# 12 expected to be what everyone uses, just so that any code in the docs will work for everyone |

Yes, .NET 8 defaults to C# 12, which is the new minimum required since Godot 4.4. |

Thanks! |
