I'm really blanking out here.
I'm wondering why I can't declare a delegate type within a method, but rather I have to do it at a class level.
namespace delegate_learning
{
class Program
{
// Works fine
public delegate void anon_delgate(int i);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
HaveFun();
Console.Read();
}
public static void HaveFun()
{
// Throws an error :/
//delegate void anon_delgate(int i);
anon_delgate ad = delegate(int i) { Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());};
}
}
}
Edit: I'm researching Lambda Expressions and backing up into how it was before Lambdas, for my own personal knowledge.
C programming language is a machine-independent programming language that is mainly used to create many types of applications and operating systems such as Windows, and other complicated programs such as the Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and games and is considered a programming foundation in the process of ...
In the real sense it has no meaning or full form. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T bell Lab. First, they used to call it as B language then later they made some improvement into it and renamed it as C and its superscript as C++ which was invented by Dr.
C is a general-purpose language that most programmers learn before moving on to more complex languages. From Unix and Windows to Tic Tac Toe and Photoshop, several of the most commonly used applications today have been built on C. It is easy to learn because: A simple syntax with only 32 keywords.
What is C? C is a general-purpose programming language created by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Laboratories in 1972. It is a very popular language, despite being old. C is strongly associated with UNIX, as it was developed to write the UNIX operating system.
// Throws an error :/
delegate void anon_delgate(int i);
It throws an error, because it's a type definition, not a variable declaration. Any type definition is not allowed inside method. It's allowed only at class scope, or namespace scope.
namespace A
{
delegate void X(int i); //allowed
public class B
{
delegate void Y(int i); //also allowed
}
}
By the way, why don't you write this:
anon_delgate ad = i => Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());
It's called lambda expression.
