Interpret c# lambda syntax
c#, expression, lambda
Solution
`()` - represents the parameters taken by the anonymus method,
`=>` - is generally read goes to and points to the anonymus methods body that uses those parameters (if any provided).
In your case the lamda expression is the same as:
delegate() { _myTime = GetMyTime(); }
As for the Tasks they are just added to a list, they are not executed. How they will be executed depends on how you want to execute them in the future. (maybe in a loop on the same thread or maybe on different threads).
Problem
I have a general understanding of Lambda expressions but not sure what the `() =>` syntax means. This code appears to return a list of Task items but I'm unsure how it executes or how to interpret what it means. Can someone tell me: - what does `() =>` mean? - It appears that each of the `new Task` blocks are executed sequentially? ``` private DateTime? _myTime = null; private DateTime? _theirTime = null; private bool _okToProcess = true; List<Task> myTasks = new List<Task> { new Task( () => { _myTime = GetMyTime(); }), new Task( () => { _theirTime = GetTheirTime(); _okToProcess = _myTime > _theirTime; }), new Task(() => { if (_okToProcess) { WriteToMyLogStep("We are processing"); } else { WriteToMyLogStep("We are NOT processing"); } }); }; ```
