MoreEnumerableZipLongestT1, T2, T3, TResult Method (IEnumerableT1, IEnumerableT2, IEnumerableT3, FuncT1, T2, T3, TResult)

Returns a projection of tuples, where each tuple contains the N-th element from each of the argument sequences. The resulting sequence will always be as long as the longest of input sequences where the default value of each of the shorter sequence element types is used for padding.

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static IEnumerable<TResult> ZipLongest<T1, T2, T3, TResult>(
	this IEnumerable<T1> first,
	IEnumerable<T2> second,
	IEnumerable<T3> third,
	Func<T1, T2, T3, TResult> resultSelector
)

<ExtensionAttribute>
Public Shared Function ZipLongest(Of T1, T2, T3, TResult) ( 
	first As IEnumerable(Of T1),
	second As IEnumerable(Of T2),
	third As IEnumerable(Of T3),
	resultSelector As Func(Of T1, T2, T3, TResult)
) As IEnumerable(Of TResult)

public:
[ExtensionAttribute]
generic<typename T1, typename T2, typename T3, typename TResult>
static IEnumerable<TResult>^ ZipLongest(
	IEnumerable<T1>^ first, 
	IEnumerable<T2>^ second, 
	IEnumerable<T3>^ third, 
	Func<T1, T2, T3, TResult>^ resultSelector
)

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member ZipLongest : 
        first : IEnumerable<'T1> * 
        second : IEnumerable<'T2> * 
        third : IEnumerable<'T3> * 
        resultSelector : Func<'T1, 'T2, 'T3, 'TResult> -> IEnumerable<'TResult>

Parameters

first: Type: System.Collections.GenericIEnumerableT1
The first sequence.
second: Type: System.Collections.GenericIEnumerableT2
The second sequence.
third: Type: System.Collections.GenericIEnumerableT3
The third sequence.
resultSelector: Type: SystemFuncT1, T2, T3, TResult
Function to apply to each triplet of elements.

Type Parameters

T1: Type of elements in first sequence.
T2: Type of elements in second sequence.
T3: Type of elements in third sequence.
TResult: Type of elements in result sequence.

Return Value

Type: IEnumerableTResult
A sequence that contains elements of the three input sequences, combined by resultSelector.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerableT1. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

This operator uses deferred execution and streams its results.

Examples

Copy

var numbers = new[] { 1, 2, 3 };
var letters = new[] { "A", "B", "C", "D" };
var chars   = new[] { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' };
var zipped  = numbers.ZipLongest(letters, chars, (n, l, c) => n + l + c);

The zipped variable, when iterated over, will yield "1Aa", "2Bb", "3Cc", "0Dd", "0e" in turn.
