Functional C#

Overview of this book

Functional programming makes your application faster, improves performance, and increases your productivity. C# code is written at a higher level of abstraction, so that code will be closer to business requirements, abstracting away many low-level implementation details. This book bridges the language gap for C# developers by showing you how to create and consume functional constructs in C#. We also bridge the domain gap by showing how functional constructs can be applied in business scenarios. We’ll take you through lambda expressions and extension methods, and help you develop a deep understanding of the concepts and practices of LINQ and recursion in C#. By the end of the book, you will be able to write code using the best approach and will be able to perform unit testing in functional programming, changing how you write your applications and revolutionizing your projects.

Preface

Chapter 5. Querying Any Collection Easily with LINQ

After having a discussion on delegates, lambda expressions, and extension methods, we are now ready to continue our discussion about LINQ. In this chapter, we will delve into LINQ, which is essential in composing functional code. Here, we will discuss the following topics:

  • Introducing LINQ Queries

  • Understanding deferred execution in LINQ

  • Comparing LINQ fluent syntax and LINQ query expression syntax

  • Enumerating LINQ operator
