C# Syntax - Split String into Array by Comma, Convert To Generic List, and Reverse Order

Question

What is the correct syntax for this:

IList names = \"Tom,Scott,Bob\".Split(\',\').ToList().Reverse();

What am I

Answer 1

What your missing here is that .Reverse() is a void method. It's not possible to assign the result of .Reverse() to a variable. You can however alter the order to use Enumerable.Reverse() and get your result

var x = "Tom,Scott,Bob".Split(',').Reverse().ToList()

The difference is that Enumerable.Reverse() returns an IEnumerable instead of being void return
