Is it possible to throw an exception using short hand condition operator? c#

Question

I am trying to use the short hand operator to check a condition in order to throw an exception.

throw (result == false) ? new Exception("Result is false.") : null;

The lines following the above line, I receive an "unreachable code detected error".

I'm thinking that if I "throw null" if the condition is not met, it is still throwing an exception.

Any better way to do this short hand?

Answer 1

As far as I know, you can't do this because you are throwing either an exception or a null and in either case the code below is always unreachable. You could simply do this on one line:

if (!result) throw new Exception("Result is false.");

This even ends up being less typed characters
