C# Pattern match arrays

Question

var x = new int[] { 1, 2 };
var y = x switch {
  { 1, 2 } => "yea",
  _ => "nay"
};

fails to compile.

How can I pattern-match arrays?

Answer 1

You have to expand the elements of the array yourself like so

var x = new int[] { 1, 2 };
var y = (x[0], x[1]) switch {
  (1, 2) => "yea",
  _ => "nay"
};
