How can I declare a variable with name 'operator'?

Question

How can I declare a variable with name "operator"?

public string operator;

`@operator` should work. I'd recommend not using keywords as identifiers though. — E. Moffat, Sep 30 '19 at 22:16

you can use any reserved word by prefixing the name of your identifier with an @ : @operator

var @operator = "+";
var @event = new { name = "Burning man" };
var @var = 23;
var @enum = new List { 1, 2, 3 };

needless to say, this is not so much helping readability, but if you feel it fits your case, you can use it.

Use public string @operator.

The @ prefix allows you to use reserved words as variable names.
