Why am I getting “CS0472: The result of the expression is always true since a value of type int is never equal to null of type int?”

Question

string[] arrTopics = {\"Health\", \"Science\", \"Politics\"};

I have an if statement like:

 if (arrTopics.Count() != null)
<         


        

Answer 1

What are you trying to ask here?

   Array.Count() returns an int which will never be null.

If you want to know if the Array has been initialised then:

   if(arrTopics !=null) ...

if you want to know if it's been initialised but has no members then:

  if(arrTopics.Count() > 0) ...
