Predicates
In the world of LINQ, predicate operators express Boolean-valued truths about sequences and their elements. Operators such as Any
and All
should sound familiar to those who’ve learned basics of predicate logic. Other operators include SequenceEqual
(to compare two sequences) and Contains
(to ask membership questions about elements in sequences). Let’s take a look at all of those.
All and Any
All
and Any
evaluate a predicate for each of the elements in a given sequence. If all the elements pass the predicate, All
will return true. If some of the elements pass the predicate, Any
will also return true:
static bool All<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Func<T, bool> predicate);static bool Any<T>(this IEnumerable<T> ...
