Event declaration: public event EventHandler<EventArgsType> EventName; Event handler declaration using lambda operator => and subscribing to the event: EventName += (obj, eventArgs) => { /* Handler logic */ }; Event handler declaration using delegate anonymous method syntax: Eve...

Defining an Anonymous Function When a function is defined, you often give it a name and then invoke it using that name, like so: foo(); function foo(){ // ... } When you define a function this way, the Javascript runtime stores your function in memory and then creates a reference to th...

It is possible to create an anonymous struct: data := struct { Number int Text string } { 42, "Hello world!", } Full example: package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { data := struct {Number int; Text string}{42, "Hello worl...

Anonymous functions are functions that are defined but not assigned a name. The following is an anonymous function that takes in two integers and returns the sum. (x: Int, y: Int) => x + y The resultant expression can be assigned to a val: val sum = (x: Int, y: Int) => x + y Anonymous...

The lambda keyword creates an inline function that contains a single expression. The value of this expression is what the function returns when invoked. Consider the function: def greeting(): return "Hello" which, when called as: print(greeting()) prints: Hello This can ...

Object initializers are the only way to initialize anonymous types, which are types generated by the compiler. var album = new { Band = "Beatles", Title = "Abbey Road" }; For that reason object initializers are widely used in LINQ select queries, since they provide a convenie...

Since anonymous types are not named, variables of those types must be implicitly typed (var). var anon = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; // anon.Foo == 1 // anon.Bar == 2 If the member names are not specified, they are set to the name of the property/variable used to initialize the object. int foo ...

Anonymous types allow the creation of objects without having to explicitly define their types ahead of time, while maintaining static type checking. var anon = new { Value = 1 }; Console.WriteLine(anon.Id); // compile time error Conversely, dynamic has dynamic type checking, opting for runtime ...

Generic methods allow the use of anonymous types through type inference. void Log<T>(T obj) { // ... } Log(new { Value = 10 }); This means LINQ expressions can be used with anonymous types: var products = new[] { new { Amount = 10, Id = 0 }, new { Amount = 20, Id = 1 }, ...

Using generic constructors would require the anonymous types to be named, which is not possible. Alternatively, generic methods may be used to allow type inference to occur. var anon = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; var anon2 = new { Foo = 5, Bar = 10 }; List<T> CreateList<T>(params T[] it...

Anonymous type equality is given by the Equals instance method. Two objects are equal if they have the same type and equal values (through a.Prop.Equals(b.Prop)) for every property. var anon = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; var anon2 = new { Foo = 1, Bar = 2 }; var anon3 = new { Foo = 5, Bar = 10 }; ...

apply is used to evaluate a function (maybe an anonymous one) over the margins of an array or matrix. Let's use the iris dataset to illustrate this idea. The iris dataset has measurements of 150 flowers from 3 species. Let's see how this dataset is structured: > head(iris) Sepal.Length Sep...

Creating anonymous functions Anonymous functions are just like regular Lua functions, except they do not have a name. doThrice(function() print("Hello!") end) As you can see, the function is not assigned to any name like print or add. To create an anonymous function, all you hav...

Functions in Common Lisp are first class values. An anonymous function can be created by using lambda. For example, here is a function of 3 arguments which we then call using funcall CL-USER> (lambda (a b c) (+ a (* b c))) #<FUNCTION (LAMBDA (A B C)) {10034F484B}> CL-USER> (defvar *fo...

An unnamed namespace can be used to ensure names have internal linkage (can only be referred to by the current translation unit). Such a namespace is defined in the same way as any other namespace, but without the name: namespace { int foo = 42; } foo is only visible in the translation uni...

An anonymous function is just a function that doesn't have a name. // Anonymous function function() { return "Hello World!"; }; In PHP, an anonymous function is treated like an expression and for this reason, it should be ended with a semicolon ;. An anonymous function should b...

The goal with using anonymous structs is to decode only the information we care about without littering our app with types that are used only in a single function. jsonBlob := []byte(` { "_total": 1, "_links": { "self": "https://api.twitch.tv/k...

In Elixir, a common practice is to use anonymous functions. Creating an anonymous function is simple: iex(1)> my_func = fn x -> x * 2 end #Function<6.52032458/1 in :erl_eval.expr/5> The general syntax is: fn args -> output end For readability, you may put parenthesis around t...

Basics Anonymous functions are a powerful tool of the MATLAB language. They are functions that exist locally, that is: in the current workspace. However, they do not exist on the MATLAB path like a regular function would, e.g. in an m-file. That is why they are called anonymous, although they can h...
