Linq Example 10 - TakeWhile

Linq Query:

//TakeWhile Example
            int[] myNumbers = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,0,1,2 };
            var numbslessthan6 = myNumbers.TakeWhile(n => n < 6);

            foreach (var t in numbslessthan6)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(t.ToString());
            }

Output:

• Its like using a break in for loop.. here it will loop through all the myNumbers and if the number is less than 6 than its added to numbslessthan6.

• Whenever a number greater than 6 in encountered the loop breaks even if there are number less than 6 after the current number which is greater than 6

Example:

for (int i = 0; i < myNumbers.Length; i++)
            {
                if (i < 6)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());
                }
                else
                {
                    break;
                }
            }

Output:

 0
 1
