    Witness the following C# piece of code:

    var x = 0;
    x = x++;

    What does this even means? How could x be equal to x++? It's obviously different! Well now imagine the following Java code

    int x = 0;
    x = x++;

    Now imagine the C# is, in fact, doing the same thing! Bazongas! The value of x is so obvious now! Obviously 1 or 0! :-o

    The equivalent of that code in C# would also be using an "int". Exactly like below;

    int x = 0;
    x = x++;

    ..which IS your java-example. The "var" keyword is not meant to be used as a replacement for int, and anyone doing so should stop coding. It clearly has a joke icon.

      Seriously. Somethings in C# seems more understandable to me with java example. But... I am not that Java guy.

        Perhaps it is because you don't know how to program in C#?

        hmmm. maybe though. But I guess I have some level of proficiency in C# and have being doing some real complex stuffs... But for once I came across need for Data-flow (Producer consumer pattern with BlockingCollection) I found an example of BlockingQueue in java very handy and translate to c#.

          Essentially, if you know Java, then you're basically familiar with C#. Even a lot of the class names are the same.

              As your other post eluded to, yeah, Java loves its patterns, and sometimes there's a gem in some Java example. On the other hand, the reason Java loves its patterns so much is that doing complex things in Java is so much more of a PITA.

                At least those that tried to assimilate me about four years ago still were.

                  Have a look at the [TPL Dataflow](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/parallel-programming/dataflow-task-parallel-library) library. It's stupid easy and does the job nicely without needing any of that mungy blocking.

                        I dunno, seen a few juniors doing just that, also other juniors that told them to stop as it might cause an endless loop. :sigh: When that comes out it's time for a coffee - away from the office.
