Is there idiomatic C# equivalent to C's comma operator?

Question

I\'m using some functional stuff in C# and keep getting stuck on the fact that List.Add doesn\'t return the updated list.

In general, I\'d like to call

Answer 1

I know that this thread is very old, but I want to append the following information for future users:

There isn't currently such an operator. During the C# 6 development cycle a semicolon operator was added, as:

int square = (int x = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); Console.WriteLine(x - 2); x * x);

which can be translated as follows:

int square = compiler_generated_Function();

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
private int compiler_generated_Function()
{
    int x = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

    Console.WriteLine(x - 2);

    return x * x;
}

However, this feature was dropped before the final C# release.
