在与同事讨论了c# 3中var关键字的使用后,我想知道人们对通过var适当使用类型推断的看法是什么?

例如,我很懒地在有问题的情况下使用var,例如:-

foreach(var item in someList) { // ... } // Type of 'item' not clear.
var something = someObject.SomeProperty; // Type of 'something' not clear.
var something = someMethod(); // Type of 'something' not clear.

var更合法的用法如下:-

var l = new List<string>(); // Obvious what l will be.
var s = new SomeClass(); // Obvious what s will be.

有趣的是,LINQ似乎是一个灰色区域,例如:-

var results = from r in dataContext.SomeTable
              select r; // Not *entirely clear* what results will be here.

结果很明显,因为它将是一个实现IEnumerable的类型,但它并不完全明显,与var声明一个新对象的方式相同。

当涉及到对象的LINQ时,情况就更糟了,例如:-

var results = from item in someList
              where item != 3
              select item;

这并不比等价的foreach(var item in someList){//…}相当于。

这里有一个关于类型安全的真正问题——例如,如果我们将该查询的结果放在一个接受IEnumerable<int>和IEnumerable<double>的重载方法中,调用者可能会无意中传入错误的类型。

Var确实保持强类型,但问题是,在定义中不立即显示类型是否危险,当重载意味着当你无意中将错误的类型传递给方法时,编译器可能不会发出错误,这种情况会被放大。

Var,在我看来,在c#中是一个很好的东西。任何这样类型的变量仍然是强类型的,但是它从赋值函数的右边得到它的类型。因为类型信息在右侧可用,在大多数情况下,也必须在左侧输入它是不必要的和过于冗长的。我认为这在不降低类型安全性的情况下显著提高了可读性。

From my perspective, using good naming conventions for variables and methods is more important from a readability perspective than explicit type information. If I need the type information, I can always hover over the variable (in VS) and get it. Generally, though, explicit type information shouldn't be necessary to the reader. For the developer, in VS you still get Intellisense, regardless of how the variable is declared. Having said all of that, there may still be cases where it does make sense to explicitly declare the type -- perhaps you have a method that returns a List<T>, but you want to treat it as an IEnumerable<T> in your method. To ensure that you are using the interface, declaring the variable of the interface type can make this explicit. Or, perhaps, you want to declare a variable without an initial value -- because it immediately gets a value based on some condition. In that case you need the type. If the type information is useful or necessary, go ahead and use it. I feel, though, that typically it isn't necessary and the code is easier to read without it in most cases.

其他回答

大多数人忽视的是:

var something = new StringBuilder(); 

通常打字的速度没有

StringBuilder something = KEY'TAB'();

我认为VAR的关键是只在适当的地方使用它,即在Linq中做一些方便的事情(可能在其他情况下)。

如果你有一个类型的东西,那么你应该使用它-不这样做是简单的懒惰(与创造性的懒惰相反,这通常是被鼓励的-优秀的程序员往往非常努力地工作,懒惰,可以被认为是最初的东西的来源)。

全面禁止就像滥用这种结构一样糟糕,但确实需要一个合理的编码标准。

另一件需要记住的事情是,它不是VB类型变量,因为它不能改变类型——它是一个强类型变量,它只是类型是推断出来的(这就是为什么有人会认为在foreach中使用它不是不合理的,但出于可读性和可维护性的原因,我不同意)。

我怀疑这个会一直持续下去(-:

在IEnumerable<int>和IEnumerable<double>之间的比较中,你不需要担心-如果你传递了错误的类型,你的代码无论如何都不会编译。

不需要考虑类型安全,因为var不是动态的。这只是编译器的魔法,任何类型不安全的调用都会被捕获。

Linq绝对需要Var:

var anonEnumeration =
    from post in AllPosts()
    where post.Date > oldDate
    let author = GetAuthor( post.AuthorId )
    select new { 
        PostName = post.Name, 
        post.Date, 
        AuthorName = author.Name
    };

现在看看智能感知中的anonEnumeration,它会显示类似IEnumerable<'a>

foreach( var item in anonEnumeration ) 
{
    //VS knows the type
    item.PostName; //you'll get intellisense here

    //you still have type safety
    item.ItemId;   //will throw a compiler exception
}

c#编译器非常聪明——单独生成的anon类型如果它们的属性匹配,将具有相同的生成类型。

除此之外,只要你有智能感知,在上下文清楚的地方使用var是有意义的。

//less typing, this is good
var myList = new List<UnreasonablyLongClassName>();

//also good - I can't be mistaken on type
var anotherList = GetAllOfSomeItem();

//but not here - probably best to leave single value types declared
var decimalNum = 123.456m;

@erlando,出于好奇,为什么你需要知道变量的类型看源代码?

在我的实践中,我发现变量类型只在我在代码中使用它的时候对我来说是重要的。

如果我试图做一些不适当的操作在某些evar编译器欣然给我一个错误\警告。

我真的不关心someVar有什么类型,如果我明白为什么它被使用在给定的上下文中。

I don't understand why people start debates like this. It really serves no purpose than to start flame wars at then end of which nothing is gained. Now if the C# team was trying to phase out one style in favor of the other, I can see the reason to argue over the merits of each style. But since both are going to remain in the language, why not use the one you prefer and let everybody do the same. It's like the use of everybody's favorite ternary operator: some like it and some don't. At the end of the day, it makes no difference to the compiler.
