In the following examples:

* the **first** seems more verbose but less wasteful of resources
* the **second** is less verbose but more wasteful of resources (redefines string each loop)

**Which is better coding practice?**

**First example:**

```
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace TestForeach23434
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<string> names = new List<string> { "one", "two", "two", "three", "four", "four" };

            string test1 = "";
            string test2 = "";
            string test3 = "";
            foreach (var name in names)
            {
                test1 = name + "1";
                test2 = name + "2";
                test3 = name + "3";
                Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", test1, test2, test3);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

```

**Second example:**

```
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace TestForeach23434
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<string> names = new List<string> { "one", "two", "two", "three", "four", "four" };

            foreach (var name in names)
            {
                string test1 = name + "1";
                string test2 = name + "2";
                string test3 = name + "3";
                Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", test1, test2, test3);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

```
