Using DefaultIfEmpty in Where clause

   
 

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

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        string[] presidents = {"G", "H", "a", "H", "over", "Jack"};

        string jones = presidents.Where(n => n.Equals("H")).DefaultIfEmpty().First();
        if (jones != null)
            Console.WriteLine("H was found.");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("H was not found.");
    }
}

    


Without Using DefaultIfEmpty

   
 

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

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {

        string[] presidents = {"G", "H", "a", "H", "over", "Jack"};

        string jones = presidents.Where(n => n.Equals("H")).First();
        if (jones != null)
            Console.WriteLine("H was found");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("H was not found");

    }
}

    


DefaultIfEmpty Demo

   
 

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

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        string[] presidents = {"G", "H", "a", "H", "over", "Jack"};

        string name =
          presidents.Where(n => n.Equals("H")).DefaultIfEmpty("Missing").First(); Console.WriteLine(name);

Conditional Count

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

public class MainClass {

        int[] numbers = { 5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0 };

Use Aggregate Operators: Count

   
 

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

public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        int[] factorsOf300 = { 2, 2, 3, 5, 5 };

        int uniqueFactors = factorsOf300.Distinct().Count();

        Console.WriteLine("There are {0} unique factors of 300.", uniqueFactors);
    }
}
