Difference between passing and not passing a view name in the View() method when we return from an Actionresult

What is the difference between passing and not passing a view name to the View() method in an Action?

public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

VS

public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View("Index");
        }

What does view() return in the case of receiving no argument?

If you do not pass the name of the view it would pass the name of the action. In your case when you write return View(); it would be like writing return View("Index");

This is helpful in case your action name changes. Pass the view name only when you are using a shared view in multiple actions. For other cases leave it empty.
