Something that comes up quite a lot in my current work is that there is a generalised process that needs to happen, but then the odd part of that process needs to happen slightly differently depending on the value of a certain variable, and I’m not quite sure what’s the most elegant way to handle this.
See a few different approaches -> stackoverflow
1) You can read and understand what the code does
2) You can modify existing code to do something different
3) You can write code from scratch that does what you want
4) You can fully utilize the language syntax and its libraries
5) You can write programs with the language for things people don’t even imagine and use it in ways people barely believe
The ‘lambda operator’. It’s read as ‘goes to’. As in, x => 2 * x is read as “x goes to 2 times x .”
A lambda expression is an anonymous function that you can use to create delegates or expression tree types. By using lambda expressions, you can write local functions that can be passed as arguments or returned as the value of function calls. Lambda expressions are particularly helpful for writing LINQ query expressions.
To create a lambda expression, you specify input parameters (if any) on the left side of the lambda operator =>, and you put the expression or statement block on the other side. For example, the lambda expression x => x * x specifies a parameter that’s named x and returns the value of x squared.
