I am not sold on the idea of the two const string keys & values. In an interviewing exercise, I do not want to send a signal to my reviewer that I can meticulously enter string values. Instead, I want to show them I can programmaticly populate the cache. But I do like seeing the same objective being accomplished using an unique approach. Cheers!

Thank you for the feedback! I like many of your suggestions and your usage of LINQ zip is sexy! To explain my choice of using continue. I have a profound dislike for nested if statements. I've found that if there is no reason to stay in the if block, I'd rather skip to the next for loop iteration. At the end of the day it's more of a preference like you stated and other people have echoed.

nah, ifs only have a nice and pretty alignment and are easier to read, you can better use helper variables for their conditions and even better comment them if necessary. This is not possible with else if because they are glued to the previous block. This is my theory behind it ;-)

@t3chb0t: I've never heard that comparison before - but it's your world, I'm only living in it :-). As long as the chain isn't too long (as in the above) I think it's OK. On the other hand: what about five or even ten if-else statements vs the same number of continues? I would prefer the first.

Personally, I can't stand the else if - I treat it like goto ;-P
