C# and, or, not pattern matching

-

Pattern matching in C# gives you the ability to shorten some of your code that checks for types, discrete values, and relational comparisons. One way this helps is to replace some of your boolean expressions with the and, or, and not syntax.

if (i is >= 2 and <= 7) { WriteLine("between 2 and 7"); }
if (i is 1 or 2 or 3) { WriteLine("In 1, 2, 3"); }

There's a lot more you can do with pattern matching, so if you haven't looked into them yet, look up some documentation and articles, and see if there are ways it can help you be more productive.

Foods ( FoodID ) ) ; go insert dbo . People ( FirstName , FavoriteFoodID ) values ( 'John' , 1 ) , ...

Create Bootable USB from Windows

-
I've had amazingly bad luck with different programs and operating systems, just trying to create bootable thumb drives. In Windows, when creating a Windows bootable USB, this seems to work, with the instructions found here : No promises that this will work everywhere.
