Jon's C# Trivia

Q1. What constructor call can you write such that this prints True (at least on the Microsoft .NET implementation)?

object x = new /* fill in code here */;
object y = new /* fill in code here */;
Console.WriteLine(x == y);

Q2. How can you make this code compile such that it calls three different method overloads?

void Foo()
{
    EvilMethod<string>();
    EvilMethod<int>();
    EvilMethod<int?>();
}

Q3. With a local variable (so no changing the variable value cunningly), how can you make this code fail on the second line?

string text = x.ToString(); // No exception
Type type = x.GetType(); // Bang!
