Extension methods equivalents for CAR and CDR in .Net's Linq/IEnumerable

Question

I know you can say SomeEnumerable.First(). But there's no .Rest.

I know I could write one, but I am wondering if I am missing something.

Answer 1

For CDR you can use Enumerable.Skip(1) like:

var cdrResultQuery = someIEnumerable.Skip(1);

Consider following example:

IEnumerable<int> someIEnumerable = new List<int> {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
var cdrResultQuery = someIEnumerable.Skip(1);
foreach (var i in cdrResultQuery)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}

and you will get:

2
3
4
5
