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.

Introducing delegates

A delegate is a data type in C# that encapsulates a method that has particular parameters and return types (signatures). In other words, a delegate will define the parameters and the return type of a method. Delegates are similar to function pointers in C/C++ since both stores the reference to the method with a particular signature. Like a function pointer in C/C++, a delegate keeps a memory address of the method it refers to. The compiler will complain if it refers to a function with a different signature. However, because of the unmanaged nature of the C++ language, one can point functions to arbitrary locations (by casting).

Let's take a look at the following delegate syntax:

[AccessModifier] delegate ReturnType DelegateName([parameters]); 

Here is the explanation for each element of the preceding delegate syntax:

  • AccessModifier: This is the modifier that is used to set the accessibility of the delegate. It can be public, private, internal, or protected. However...
