C#/Linq: Apply a mapping function to each element in an IEnumerable?

In C# with LINQ, you can use the Select method to apply a mapping function to each element in an IEnumerable. The Select method projects each element of a sequence into a new form by applying a function to each element.

Here is an example of how to use Select to apply a mapping function to each element in an IEnumerable:

 IEnumerable<int> numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; IEnumerable<int> squaredNumbers = numbers.Select(x => x * x);

In this example, we have an IEnumerable of integers called numbers. We use the Select method to apply a mapping function to each element of numbers. The mapping function is defined using a lambda expression that takes an integer x and returns its square x * x. The result of the Select method is a new IEnumerable called squaredNumbers that contains the squared values of each element in numbers.

You can also use Select to project each element of a sequence into a new form that is a different type than the original sequence. For example, you can project a sequence of strings into a sequence of integers:

 IEnumerable<string> strings = new List<string> { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" }; IEnumerable<int> numbers = strings.Select(x => int.Parse(x));

In this example, we have an IEnumerable of strings called strings. We use the Select method to apply a mapping function to each element of strings. The mapping function is defined using a lambda expression that takes a string x and parses it into an integer using the int.Parse method. The result of the Select method is a new IEnumerable called numbers that contains the integer values of each element in strings.

Examples

  1. "C# LINQ map function example"

    // Code Example: var numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; var squaredNumbers = numbers.Select(x => x * x).ToList();

    Description: Demonstrates how to use LINQ's Select to apply a mapping function (squaring each element in this case) to each element in an IEnumerable.

  2. "C# LINQ projection with lambda expression"

    // Code Example: var names = new List<string> { "Alice", "Bob", "Charlie" }; var uppercasedNames = names.Select(name => name.ToUpper()).ToList();

    Description: Uses LINQ's Select to project each element in a collection by applying a mapping function (converting names to uppercase).

  3. "C# LINQ transform list of objects"

    // Code Example: var persons = new List<Person> { /* populate with Person objects */ }; var transformedData = persons.Select(person => new TransformedPerson { /* transformation logic */ }).ToList();

    Description: Applies a mapping function to transform each object in a list of custom objects.

  4. "C# LINQ map and filter example"

    // Code Example: var numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; var squaredEvenNumbers = numbers.Where(x => x % 2 == 0).Select(x => x * x).ToList();

    Description: Combines Where and Select in LINQ to filter and then map elements in a collection.

  5. "C# LINQ apply function to each element in array"

    // Code Example: var array = new int[] { 10, 20, 30 }; var newArray = array.Select(x => x + 5).ToArray();

    Description: Illustrates how to apply a mapping function to each element in an array using LINQ.

  6. "C# LINQ transform dictionary values"

    // Code Example: var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, int> { { "one", 1 }, { "two", 2 }, { "three", 3 } }; var squaredValues = dictionary.ToDictionary(pair => pair.Key, pair => pair.Value * pair.Value);

    Description: Applies a mapping function to transform the values of a dictionary using LINQ.

  7. "C# LINQ map multiple lists"

    // Code Example: var numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 }; var letters = new List<char> { 'A', 'B', 'C' }; var combinedList = numbers.Zip(letters, (num, letter) => $"{num}-{letter}").ToList();

    Description: Uses LINQ's Zip function to apply a mapping function to elements from multiple lists.

  8. "C# LINQ map nested objects"

    // Code Example: var parentObjects = new List<ParentObject> { /* populate with ParentObject instances */ }; var flattenedChildNames = parentObjects.SelectMany(parent => parent.Children.Select(child => child.Name)).ToList();

    Description: Applies a mapping function to access and flatten nested objects within a collection.

  9. "C# LINQ map and aggregate"

    // Code Example: var numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; var sumOfSquares = numbers.Select(x => x * x).Aggregate((acc, val) => acc + val);

    Description: Applies a mapping function and then aggregates the results using LINQ's Aggregate function.

  10. "C# LINQ map and sort"

    // Code Example: var words = new List<string> { "apple", "banana", "cherry" }; var sortedByLength = words.OrderBy(word => word.Length).ToList();

    Description: Applies a mapping function to sort elements in a collection using LINQ's OrderBy function.
