Do nothing keyword in C#? [closed]

Answer 1

The ternary operator is for expressions, not statements.

You want an if statement.

Answer 2

Why not just use an if statement so the code looks like this:

if(!officeDict.ContainsKey("0"))
    officeDict.Add("0","")

Answer 3

Why not write it with a simple if?

if (!officeDict.ContainsKey("0"))
    officeDict.Add("0","")

It will be far more readable.

Answer 4

Use an if statement instead.

if (!officeDict.ContainsKey("0")) 
{
    officeDict.Add("0","")
}

Answer 5

As others have pointed out, using an if statement is far more idiomatic here.

But to answer what you ask, you can use lambdas and delegates:

// Bad code, do not use:
(officeDict.ContainsKey("0") ? (Action)(() => { }) : () => officeDict.Add("0", ""))();

Answer 6

Why don't you just use an IF statement for this?

if(!officeDict.ContainsKey("0")) officeDict.Add("0","");
