if condition with nullable

Question

There is a lot of syntax sugar with Nullable like those:

int? parsed to Nullable

int? x = null
   if (x != null) // Parsed          


        

Answer 1

It's the most obvious usage for Nullable

Be careful with statements like that. What seem obvious to you isn't necessarily what is obvious for some one else.

Furthermore,

if(x) {}

would also be illegal in case x was a reference type, so in the interest of consistency, the behavior should be the same for Nullables.
