CSharp's C++ std::variant

Is there a std::variant in C# like in C++?
If not what is the closest thing to it?

objectobject and pattern matching?

Claudiu HBannOP•7/31/24, 9:07 PM

what do you mean by pattern matching?
checking for the object's type?

Jimmacle•7/31/24, 9:07 PM

basically, yes

what problem are you trying to solve?

Claudiu HBannOP•7/31/24, 9:08 PM

are any popular libraries that mimics the most C++ STL containers?

Jimmacle•7/31/24, 9:08 PM

i don't know of any, i use C# standard containers

Jimmacle•7/31/24, 9:09 PM

the names are different but there are lots that work the same as STL containers
