❔ Reading from stdin

So, I'm trying to work with basic IO stuff. I have this snippet: 
string line;
while ((line = Console.ReadLine()) != null) {
  // Stuff...
}
string line;
while ((line = Console.ReadLine()) != null) {
  // Stuff...
}
I get a warning about assigning a nullable value to a non-nullable variable. I understand what the warning is saying, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do any better than this considering I am already checking for null values. Any recommendations?

Console.ReadLine() will almost never return null, i think the only situation is if the user hits ctrl+z

Yup, so you can silence that warning with a bang

it's one of those things where it's probably okay to just suppress the warning like Console.ReadLine()!

Alternatively, 
Console.ReadLine() ?? "";
Console.ReadLine() ?? "";
to get an empty string instead of null

alternatively, string? line; does not require any other code changes
