Null pointer exceptions are no fun. You can avoid them and keep your code clean and maintainable by using these techniques to elegantly handle null values in C#.

Similar to tons of others we got in recent years ( expression-bodied members, out variables, tuples, null-conditional operators operator, "default" literal, etc).
