Take & TakeWhile in C# (System.Linq)

-

This blog is going to explain Take() and TakeWhile() with small examples. 

Take() metod
From the sequence, the Take(n) method will return the first nth element. For example, if there are 5 elements in the list, then Take(2) will get the first 2 elements. The following image illustrates how the Take() method works.


The following is the demo code. The moviesList variable has a list of 5 movie names. The take() method take(2) takes the first 2 movie names.

IList<string> moviesList = new List<string>() { "Tangled", "Brave", "Frozen", "Zootopia", "Moana" };

var resultList = moviesList.Take(2);

foreach (var movie in resultList)
{
    Console.WriteLine(movie);
}

Output
Tangled
Brave

TakeWhile() metod
The TakeWhile() method returns the elements until the condition is true. In the following example, five movie names are assigned to the moviesList variable. And x != "Zootopia" condition has been checked. So the result will be  "Tangled", "Brave", "Frozen". Because the first 3 elements are not equal to "Zootopia". The fourth element is equivalent to  "Zootopia", so the condition is false, so it returns the first 3 movie names.


The following is a code example

List<string> moviesList = new List<string>() { "Tangled", "Brave", "Frozen", "Zootopia", "Moana" };

var resultList = moviesList.TakeWhile(x => x != "Zootopia").ToList();

foreach (var movie in resultList)
{
    Console.WriteLine(movie);
}

Output
Tangled
Brave
Frozen

I hope this article will help you. Keep coding

Introduction: Blazor is a powerful framework for building web applications using C# instead of JavaScript. It allows developers to create interactive and dynamic user interfaces with ease. One of the key features in Blazor is the EventCallback<T> pattern, which enables communication between components through events. In this blog post, we will explore how to use the EventCallback<T> pattern in Blazor by building a simple example. Creating the Event-Driven Component: Let's start by creating a Blazor component called MyComponent. This component will raise an event when a button is clicked.
