How do I return the string "test"? I'm using ?? operator and method GetStringValue returns empty string.

Current value of X is "", but it's should be "test"?

var X = GetStringValue() ?? "test";

private static string GetStringValue()
{
   return string.Empty;
}

`String.Empty` is not the same thing as `null` – pinkfloydx33 Mar 21 '19 at 15:40

`??` checks for `null`, change your method to return `null` and you will get the desired result. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/null-coalescing-operator) – Ryan Wilson Mar 21 '19 at 15:40
