namespace TestCon
{

    {
        public static void Main()
    {

        Person person = null;
        //Person person = new Person() { Name = "Jack" };

        //Using an "if" null check.
        if (person != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(person.Name);
            person.Name = "Jane";
            Console.WriteLine(person.Name);
        }

        //using a ternary null check.
        string arg = (person != null) ? person.Name = "John" : arg = null;
        //Remember the first statment after the "?" is what happens when true. False after the ":". (Just saying "john" is not enough)
        //Console.WriteLine(person.Name);

        if (arg == null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("arg is null");
        }

        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

}
