Force Take() to get less than count if there are no enough elements

Question

I'd like to get 3 or less elements (in case after the Skip() there aren't 3 elements to take).

Is it possible with linq syntax?

   myFilteredList = sortedFullList       .Skip(skipCount)       .Take(3); 

Answer 1

Enumerable.Take does do that automatically. Your code sample as given should work:

Take enumerates source and yields elements until count elements have been yielded or source contains no more elements.

Answer 2

This should work as is with your query - Take(3) will return 3 elements at most - but less if there are less items in the enumeration.
