Inline Variable refactoring

This refactoring allows you to replace all occurrences of a variable in the code with its initializer. Note that the refactoring should be only applied if the variable value stays unchanged after initialization.

In the example below, we use this refactoring to inline the reversed variable.

static string ReversedString(string input)
{
  var chars = input.ToCharArray();
  Array.Reverse(chars);
  var reversed = new string(chars);
  return reversed;
}

static string ReversedString(string input)
{
  var chars = input.ToCharArray();
  Array.Reverse(chars);
  return new string(chars);
}

tip

The reverse functionality is available with the Introduce Variable refactoring refactoring.

This feature is supported in the following languages and technologies:

The instructions and examples given here address the use of the feature in C#. For details specific to other languages, see corresponding topics in the ReSharper by language section.
