C# developers are quite familiar with using foreach and for loops. By using these iteration statements, we can repeatedly execute a statement or a block of statements. This chapter primarily focuses on their parallel versions. It also helps you experiment with similar constructs that support parallel programming.

Revisiting Sequential Loops

Before we discuss parallel loops, let’s analyze a common scenario where you would usually use a loop. For example, given the code List<int> numbers = Enumerable.Range(1, ...
