Contains with string value and IEqualityComparer

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MyStringifiedNumberComparer : IEqualityComparer<string> {
    public bool Equals(string x, string y) {
        return (Int32.Parse(x) == Int32.Parse(y));
    }

    public int GetHashCode(string obj) {
        return Int32.Parse(obj).ToString().GetHashCode();
    }
}
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        string[] stringifiedNums = {"001", "49", "017", "0080", "00027", "2" };
        bool contains = stringifiedNums.Contains("000271",new MyStringifiedNumberComparer());
        Console.WriteLine(contains);
    }
}

    


Contains with string value

   
 

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"};

        bool contains = presidents.Contains("H");
        Console.WriteLine(contains);
    }
}

    


Concat appends one sequence to another

   
 


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {

        int[] seq1 = { 1, 2, 3 };
        int[] seq2 = { 3, 4, 5 };
        IEnumerable<int> concat = seq1.Concat(seq2);    //  { 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5 }
        IEnumerable<int> union = seq1.Union(seq2);     //  { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
    }
}

    


Concatention by Using the Concat Operator

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        string[] presidents = {"ant", "arding", "rison", "eyes", "over", "ackson"};
        IEnumerable<string> items = new[] {
                                   presidents.Take(5),
                                   presidents.Skip(5)
                                  }.SelectMany(s => s);
        foreach (string item in items)
            Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}

    


Concat Prototype

   
 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        string[] presidents = {"ant", "arding", "arrison", "eyes", "over", "ackson"};
        IEnumerable<string> items = presidents.Take(5).Concat(presidents.Skip(5));

        foreach (string item in items)
            Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}

foreach (var n in allNames) {
Console.WriteLine(n);
}
}

Use Concat to merge two integer arrays into a single sequence

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

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

        var allNumbers = numbersA.Concat(numbersB);

        Console.WriteLine("All numbers from both arrays:");
        foreach (var n in allNumbers) {
            Console.WriteLine(n);
        }
    }
}
