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。

@Keith -

在你们的比较中 IEnumerable < int > IEnumerable<double>你不需要 担心——如果你传递了错误的类型 您的代码无论如何都无法编译。

这并不完全正确——如果一个方法同时重载到IEnumerable<int>和IEnumerable<double>,那么它可能会无声地将意外推断的类型(由于程序中的其他一些更改)传递给错误的重载,从而导致不正确的行为。

我想问题是这种情况出现的可能性有多大!

我猜部分问题是var给给定的声明增加了多少混乱——如果不清楚某个东西是什么类型(尽管它是强类型的,编译器完全理解它是什么类型),有人可能会掩盖一个类型安全错误,或者至少需要更长的时间来理解一段代码。

其他回答

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.

我广泛使用var。有人批评这降低了代码的可读性,但没有证据支持这种说法。

Admittedly, it may mean that it's not clear what type we are dealing with. So what? This is actually the point of a decoupled design. When dealing with interfaces, you are emphatically not interested in the type a variable has. var takes this much further, true, but I think that the argument remains the same from a readability point of view: The programmer shouldn't actually be interested in the type of the variable but rather in what a variable does. This is why Microsoft also calls type inference “duck typing.”

当我用var声明变量时,它会做什么呢?简单,智能感知让它做什么它就做什么。任何关于c#的推理都忽略了IDE,这是不现实的。实际上,每个c#代码都是在支持智能感知的IDE中编写的。

如果我使用了一个var声明的变量,并对变量的用途感到困惑,那么我的代码就有根本性的问题。Var不是原因,它只是使症状可见。不要责怪送信的人。

现在,c#团队发布了一个编码指南,声明var应该只用于捕获创建匿名类型的LINQ语句的结果(因为在这里,我们没有真正的替代var的方法)。去他的。只要c#团队没有给我一个合理的论证,我就会忽略它,因为在我的专业和个人观点中,这纯粹是胡扯。(抱歉;我找不到相关指南的链接。)

Actually, there are some (superficially) good explanations on why you shouldn't use var but I still believe they are largely wrong. Take the example of “searchabililty”: the author claims that var makes it hard to search for places where MyType is used. Right. So do interfaces. Actually, why would I want to know where the class is used? I might be more interested in where it is instantiated and this will still be searchable because somewhere its constructor has to be invoked (even if this is done indirectly, the type name has to be mentioned somewhere).

在大多数情况下,只是输入它更简单——想象一下

var sb = new StringBuilder();

而不是:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

有时它是必需的,例如:匿名类型,比如。

var stuff = new { Name = "Me", Age = 20 };

我个人喜欢使用它,尽管它会降低代码的可读性和可维护性。

这纯粹是为了方便。编译器将推断类型(基于右边表达式的类型)。

@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。
