How Pattern Matching Saves Your Day!

Oh, dang it. You boxed a value type into an object and now your equality and inequality operators won't compile. That's because they need compatible types. But pattern matching don't care. Check out this code.

We couldn't run that line five because those aren't compatible types. But our pattern matching will run and give us our output just like we expect. That's because the pattern matching checks the runtime value inside the object versus the constant. Clean, readable, and no unboxing ceremony required.
