I have a bunch of variables I'd like to assign... is it possible to do
it in 1 line.

IE This is how I do it now


int sally, jim, bill, fread, sam;
sally = jim = bill = fread = sam = 5;


Just for curosity, is there a way to do it in 1 line instead of 2?
"int sally, jim, bill, fread, sam = 5" doesn't work.

Thanks NB

You won't be able to do that multiple assignment at least until C# 3.0.
And that too only for value types.

Wait for object initializers in C# 3.0 for some quick initialization
syntax.

Sorry, there is no way to do that.

Your shortest option is
int sally=5, jim=5, bill=5, fred=5, sam=5;

But both should generate the same result, so why worry about saving a few
characters?

That's not what the OP is asking for though. Marcel gave the correct
answer. The OP is looking for a way of assigning the same value to multiple
variables, not assign multiple values to different properties/fields on an
object.
