Target-typed new expressions

In C# 8, another new feature is target-typed new expressions. This feature will make code assignment much cleaner. Let's start with some example code in which we are creating a dictionary with a value:

person switch
Dictionary<string, List<int>> student = new Dictionary<string, List<int>> {
   { "john", new List<int>() { 98, 75 } }
};

With target-typed new expressions, the preceding code can be written as follows:

Dictionary<string, List<int>> student = new() {
   { "john", new() { 98, 75 } }
};

When you place new(), the variable takes the type that is on the left-hand side and creates a new instance of it.
