The default Keyword
Another very useful item in C# is the overloaded use of the default keyword. This scheme allows you to determine the default value for a given type, as in Listing 15.
Listing 15 The default keyword in action.
Console.WriteLine("Default values {0} {1} ", default(bool), default(int));
The code in Listing 15 produces the following output:
Default values False 0
The default keyword returns a value of null for a reference type and a suitable default value for a value type. So, in Listing 15, the default value for a Boolean type is False, while for an int the default value is 0.
