ZipLongestExtensionZipLongestT1, T2, T3, T4, TResult(IEnumerableT1, IEnumerableT2, IEnumerableT3, IEnumerableT4, FuncT1, T2, T3, T4, TResult) Method

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.

F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member ZipLongest : 
        first : IEnumerable<'T1> * 
        second : IEnumerable<'T2> * 
        third : IEnumerable<'T3> * 
        fourth : IEnumerable<'T4> * 
        resultSelector : Func<'T1, 'T2, 'T3, 'T4, 'TResult> -> IEnumerable<'TResult>

Parameters

first IEnumerableT1: The first sequence.
second IEnumerableT2: The second sequence.
third IEnumerableT3: The third sequence.
fourth IEnumerableT4: The fourth sequence.
resultSelector FuncT1, T2, T3, T4, TResult: Function to apply to each quadruplet 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
T4: Type of elements in fourth sequence
TResult: Type of elements in result sequence

Return Value

IEnumerableTResult
A sequence that contains elements of the four 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.

Example

C#

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

The zipped variable, when iterated over, will yield "1AaTrue", "2BbFalse", "3CcTrue", "0DdFalse", "0eTrue", "0\0False" in turn.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

first, second, third, fourth, or resultSelector is .
