How to initialize var?

by

C# is a strictly/strongly typed language. var was introduced for compile-time type-binding for anonymous types yet you can use var for primitive and custom types that are already known at design time. At runtime there’s nothing like var, it is replaced by an actual type that is either a reference type or value type.

When you say, 

var x = null;

the compiler cannot resolve this because there’s no type bound to null. You can make it like this.

string y = null;
var x = y;

This will work because now x can know its type at compile time that is string in this case.
