Multiple inline assignments in one statement in c#

Question

Obviously the following is totally fine in c#;

int a;
int b = a = 2;

Is it possible to do multiple variable assignments in c# in a single statement?

i.e. something like;

int a = (int b = 2);

Answer 1

If we look at:

int a;
int b = a = 2;

That is essentially a=2; then b=a; (but without an extra eval). So we can get similar by reversing the order:

int a = 2, b = a;

However: I would say take this a bit hesitantly: please also prioritise readability.

Answer 2

Not as far as I know. The only variation I know of is:

int a = 2, b = 2;
