Anonymous methods provide a technique to pass a code block as a delegate parameter. They are methods with a body, but no name.
delegate int IntOp(int lhs, int rhs);
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// C# 2.0 definition
IntOp add = delegate(int lhs, int rhs)
{
return lhs + rhs;
};
// C# 3.0 definition
IntOp mul = (lhs, rhs) =>
{
return lhs * rhs;
};
// C# 3.0 definition - shorthand
IntOp sub = (lhs, rhs) => lhs - rhs;
// Calling each method
Console.WriteLine("2 + 3 = " + add(2, 3));
Console.WriteLine("2 * 3 = " + mul(2, 3));
Console.WriteLine("2 - 3 = " + sub(2, 3));
}
}
