Using empty string methods

Here we see the five empty string tests shown in the graph and in the table above. Each of the five tests will be true, as the string str is empty. The code prints out the results of the tests, which you can see at the end.
=== Program that uses empty strings (C#) ===

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Example string
string str = "";

// Example tests
if (str == "")
{
// 1
// Test with op_Equality
System.Console.WriteLine(1);
}
if (string.Equals(str, ""))
{
// 2
// Test with static Equals method
System.Console.WriteLine(2);
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
{
// 3
// Test with IsNullOrEmpty
System.Console.WriteLine(3);
}
if (str.Length == 0)
{
// 4
// Test with Length property
System.Console.WriteLine(4);
}
if (str.Equals(""))
{
// 5
// Test with Equals method
System.Console.WriteLine(5);
}
}
}
