Title:	C# tip - Prefer var for Local Variables When the Type is Obvious
Language:	C#
Description:	In C#, you can declare local variables either by explicitly stating their type or using the var keyword to let the compiler infer the type. Using var can make your code more concise and easier to read, but it’s important to use it only when the type is obvious from the context. Benefits of using var: Improves code readability by removing redundant type declarations. Encourages type inference, making the code less verbose.
Code Example:	`Instead of writing: List<string> names = new List<string>(); You can write: var names = new List<string>(); The type (List<string>) is clear from the context, so using var here reduces duplication without losing readability. When not to use var: Avoid using var when the type isn’t clear from the right-hand side. For example: var result = GetSomething(); // What type is result? In such cases, explicitly declaring the type improves code clarity.`
