Return an array without creating a variable

Question

I have the following C# method:

private string[] test()
{
}

I would like to know if I can do something like this within the method:

return {"1","2"}

instead of:

string[] quantity = { "1","2" };
return quantity;

Kindly let me know how I can do this in C#.

return new string[] { "1", "2" };
