List<T>.Find (Predicates / Lambda)
c#, lambda, predicate
Solution
The first is a statement lambda, the second one is a lambda expression and the third is an anonymous method.
They are all functionally equivalent.
Problem
Could someone tell me what the difference / advantage is between the following 3 Find options: ``` List<Employee> Employees = new List<Employee>(); Employee tmp = new Employee(); tmp.FirstName = "Randy"; tmp.LastName = "Jones"; Employees.Add(tmp); tmp.FirstName = "David"; tmp.LastName = "Smith"; Employees.Add(tmp); tmp.FirstName = "Michele"; tmp.LastName = "Morris"; Employees.Add(tmp); // Find option 1 Employee eFound1= Employees.Find((Employee emp1) => {return emp1.LastName == "Jones";}); // Find option 2 Employee eFound2 = Employees.Find(emp2 => emp2.LastName == "Smith"); // Find option 3 Employee eFound3 = Employees.Find( delegate(Employee emp3) { return emp3.LastName == "Morris"; } ); ``` I have been reading about lambdas and predicates (which I suspect is somehow tied to the answer) but I can't put it all together. Any enlightenment would be appreciated! Thanks David
