PartialSortExtensionPartialSortT(IEnumerableT, Int32, IComparerT, OrderByDirection) Method

Combines OrderByT, TKey(IEnumerableT, FuncT, TKey, IComparerTKey, OrderByDirection), where each element is its key, and TakeTSource(IEnumerableTSource, Int32) in a single operation. Additional parameters specify how the elements compare to each other and the direction of the sort.

public:
[ExtensionAttribute]

F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member PartialSort : 
        source : IEnumerable<'T> * 
        count : int * 
        comparer : IComparer<'T> * 
        direction : OrderByDirection -> IEnumerable<'T>

Parameters

source IEnumerableT: The source sequence.
count Int32: Number of (maximum) elements to return.
comparer IComparerT: A IComparerT to compare elements.
direction OrderByDirection: The direction in which to sort the elements

Type Parameters

T: Type of elements in the sequence.

Return Value

IEnumerableT
A sequence containing at most top count elements from source, in the specified order.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerableT. 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 it results.
