Func and Action C# with Example
Func provides a holder for parameterised anonymous functions. The leading types are the inputs and the last type is always the return value. // square a number. Func square = (x) => { return x * x; }; // get the square root. // note how the signature matches the built in method. Func squareroot = Math.Sqrt; // provide your workings. Func workings = (x, y) => string.Format("The square of {0} is {1}.", x, square(y)) Action objects are like void methods so they only have an input type. No result is placed on the evaluation stack. // right-angled triangle. class Triangle { public double a; public double b; public double h; } // Pythagorean theorem. Action pythagoras = (x) => x.h = squareroot(square(x.a) + square(x.b)); Triangle t = new Triangle { a = 3, b = 4 }; pythagoras(t); Console.WriteLine(t.h); // 5.
