Question

A simple C# code

    bool result;
    if (bool.TryParse("false", out result) && result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }

and

    bool result;
    if (bool.TryParse("tRue", out result) && result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }

Resharper says that result in Console.WriteLine(result) is always true. Why?

Answer 1

It’s due to the && result part – you’ll only ever get into the body of the statement if result is true. How do you anticipate any way of getting in there with result being false?
