Use Generation Operators: Range

   
 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        var numbers =
           from n in Enumerable.Range(100, 50)
           select new { Number = n, OddEven = n % 2 == 1 ? "odd" : "even" };

        foreach (var n in numbers) {
            Console.WriteLine("The number {0} is {1}.", n.Number, n.OddEven);
        }
    }
}

    


Return an Empty Sequence of Strings

   
 
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        IEnumerable<string> strings = Enumerable.Empty<string>();
        foreach (string s in strings)
            Console.WriteLine(s); Console.WriteLine(strings.Count());
    }
}

    


ElementAtOrDefault Operator with an Invalid Index

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Employee {
    public int id;
    public string firstName;
    public string lastName;

    public static ArrayList GetEmployeesArrayList() {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 1, firstName = "J", lastName = "R" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 2, firstName = "W", lastName = "G" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 3, firstName = "A", lastName = "H" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 4, firstName = "D", lastName = "L" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 101, firstName = "K", lastName = "F" });
        return (al);
    }

    public static Employee[] GetEmployeesArray() {
        return ((Employee[])GetEmployeesArrayList().ToArray(typeof(Employee)));
    }
}
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        Employee emp = Employee.GetEmployeesArray().ElementAtOrDefault(5);

        Console.WriteLine(emp == null ? "NULL" : string.Format("{0} {1}", emp.firstName, emp.lastName));
    }
}

    


ElementAtOrDefault Operator with a Valid Index

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Employee {
    public int id;
    public string firstName;
    public string lastName;

    public static ArrayList GetEmployeesArrayList() {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 1, firstName = "J", lastName = "R" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 2, firstName = "W", lastName = "G" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 3, firstName = "A", lastName = "H" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 4, firstName = "D", lastName = "L" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 101, firstName = "K", lastName = "F" });
        return (al);
    }

    public static Employee[] GetEmployeesArray() {
        return ((Employee[])GetEmployeesArrayList().ToArray(typeof(Employee)));
    }
}
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        Employee emp = Employee.GetEmployeesArray().ElementAtOrDefault(3);

        Console.WriteLine(emp == null ? "NULL" :string.Format("{0} {1}", emp.firstName, emp.lastName));
    }
}

    


use ElementAtOrDefault

   
 
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq;

public class MainClass{
   public static void Main(){
            int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
            var query = numbers.ElementAtOrDefault(9);
            Console.Write(query);
   }
}

    


Use ElementAt to print the fourth number less that 5 in an integer array

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public class MainClass {
public static void Main() {
int[] numbers = { 5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0 };

int fourthLowNum = (
from n in numbers
where n < 5 select n) .ElementAt(3); // 3 because sequences use 0-based indexing Console.WriteLine("Fourth number < 5: {0}", fourthLowNum); } } [/csharp]

Calling the ElementAt Operator

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Employee {
    public int id;
    public string firstName;
    public string lastName;

    public static ArrayList GetEmployeesArrayList() {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 1, firstName = "J", lastName = "R" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 2, firstName = "W", lastName = "G" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 3, firstName = "A", lastName = "H" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 4, firstName = "D", lastName = "L" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 101, firstName = "K", lastName = "F" });
        return (al);
    }

    public static Employee[] GetEmployeesArray() {
        return ((Employee[])GetEmployeesArrayList().ToArray(typeof(Employee)));
    }
}
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        Employee emp = Employee.GetEmployeesArray().ElementAt(3);
        Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", emp.firstName, emp.lastName);
    }
}
