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

Null is a special pointer value, and not an integer. There are nullable types, that are either null or one of the possible values for the base type, but int itself is not nullable.
