Thoughts on foreach with Enumerable.Range vs traditional for loop
.net, c#, c#-3.0, for-loop, foreach
Solution
I find the latter's "minimum-to-maximum" format a lot clearer than `Range`'s "minimum-count" style for this purpose. Also, I don't think it's really a good practice to make a change like this from the norm that is not faster, not shorter, not more familiar, and not obviously clearer.
That said, I'm not against the idea in general. If you came up to me with syntax that looked something like `foreach (int x from 1 to 8)` then I'd probably agree that that would be an improvement over a `for` loop. However, `Enumerable.Range` is pretty clunky.
Problem
In C# 3.0, I'm liking this style: ``` // Write the numbers 1 thru 7 foreach (int index in Enumerable.Range( 1, 7 )) { Console.WriteLine(index); } ``` over the traditional `for` loop: ``` // Write the numbers 1 thru 7 for (int index = 1; index <= 7; index++) { Console.WriteLine( index ); } ``` Assuming 'n' is small so performance is not an issue, does anyone object to the new style over the traditional style?
