ZipLongestExtensionZipLongestTFirst, TSecond, TResult Method (IEnumerableTFirst, IEnumerableTSecond, FuncTFirst, TSecond, TResult)

Returns a projection of tuples, where each tuple contains the N-th element from each of the argument sequences.

Namespace:  MoreLinq.Extensions
Assembly:  MoreLinq (in MoreLinq.dll) Version: 3.0.0
Syntax
public static IEnumerable<TResult> ZipLongest<TFirst, TSecond, TResult>(
	this IEnumerable<TFirst> first,
	IEnumerable<TSecond> second,
	Func<TFirst, TSecond, TResult> resultSelector
)

Parameters

first
Type: System.Collections.GenericIEnumerableTFirst
The first sequence.
second
Type: System.Collections.GenericIEnumerableTSecond
The second sequence.
resultSelector
Type: SystemFuncTFirst, TSecond, TResult
Function to apply to each pair of elements.

Type Parameters

TFirst
Type of elements in first sequence.
TSecond
Type of elements in second sequence.
TResult
Type of elements in result sequence.

Return Value

Type: IEnumerableTResult
A sequence that contains elements of the two 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 IEnumerableTFirst. 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

If the two input sequences are of different lengths then the result sequence will always be as long as the longer of the two input sequences. The default value of the shorter sequence element type is used for padding.

This operator uses deferred execution and streams its results.

Examples
var numbers = { 1, 2, 3 };
var letters = { "A", "B", "C", "D" };
var zipped = numbers.ZipLongest(letters, (n, l) => n + l);
The zipped variable, when iterated over, will yield "1A", "2B", "3C", "0D" in turn.
