ZipShortestExtensionZipShortestT1, 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 is as short as the shortest input sequence.

F#

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member ZipShortest : 
        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 projection of tuples, where each tuple contains the N-th element from each of the argument sequences.

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

If the input sequences are of different lengths, the result sequence is terminated as soon as the shortest input sequence is exhausted and remainder elements from the longer sequences are never consumed.

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 };
var zipped  = numbers.ZipShortest(letters, chars, flags, (n, l, c, f) => n + l + c + f);

The zipped variable, when iterated over, will yield "1AaTrue", "2BbFalse" in turn.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

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