What is the C# equivalent of map function in Haskell
Select
MSDN Reference
See my question Why is the LINQ "apply-to-all" method named Select
? (Only if you are curious as it is not directly related).
Another alternative to Select
and SelectMany
is to write your own extension method.
public static IEnumerable<U> Map<T, U>(this IEnumerable<T> s, Func<T, U> f)
{
foreach (var item in s)
yield return f(item);
}
Thanks Wes Dyer for this sweet extension method! :) See post for more details.
Since Select
and SelectMany
were already mentioned, I'll answer an additional question you didn't ask: fold
is found as Aggregate.
Now everyone reading this should be fully equipped to go be That Guy who writes Language X using Language Y idioms... so for the sake of your fellow C# programmers, don't get too carried away.
How about ConvertAll? It looks like Closest to Map.
