return answer to life in csharp

To return the answer to life (which is 42, according to Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy") in C#, you can create a method that returns an integer with the value of 42. Here's an example:

main.cs
public int AnswerToLife()
{
    return 42;
}
45 chars
5 lines

This method uses the return statement to return the integer value of 42. You can call this method from another part of your code to get the answer to life, like this:

main.cs
int answer = AnswerToLife();
Console.WriteLine("The answer to life is: " + answer);
84 chars
3 lines

This code will output the following:

main.cs
The answer to life is: 42
26 chars
2 lines

Of course, this is just a simple example. In a real application, you would probably have more complex logic in your method and you would be returning something other than a hard-coded value. But the basic idea of using the return statement to return a value from a method is the same.
