Can C# 8 new switch replace a code block containing multiple ? : ? : expressions?

Question

Here's an example of what I am doing now:

return
    shpc == 0 ? "Currently, based on your selection below, you have not yet identified any hidden cards in your card deck." :
    shpc == 1 ? "Currently, based on your selection below, you have one hidden card in your card deck." :
                $"Currently, based on your selection below, you have {shpc} hidden cards in your card deck. These will not be visible.";

The code words but not having much knowledge of what was added to switch I wonder if this could also be done with a switch expression?

Answer 1

Try this

return shpc switch 
{
    0 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have not yet identified any hidden cards in your card deck.",
    1 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have one hidden card in your card deck.",
    _ => $"Currently, based on your selection below, you have {shpc} hidden cards in your card deck. These will not be visible."
};

Answer 2

Definitely:

return shpc switch 
{
    0 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have not yet identified any hidden cards in your card deck.",
    1 => "Currently, based on your selection below, you have one hidden card in your card deck.",
    _ => $"Currently, based on your selection below, you have {shpc} hidden cards in your card deck. These will not be visible."
};
