Nice usage of foreach
-
I once saw a programmer write this.
foreach (User user in users) { return user; }:laugh:What is horrible about giving preferential treatment to the first user? By the time the app has more users, they probably will have introduced a new keyword yielding some attention to more recent customers... :)

If
usersprovides only theIEnumerableinterface then you kinda have to do that. We'd need to see more of the code to determine just how horrible it is. -
IEnumerable.FirstOrDefault[^] aside of course.
That's an Extension Method, not a member of IEnumerable, and therefore has no access to the underlying data; it is likely implemented the same way as the original post. X|

Wow, I didn't know about the yield operator till now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. :thumbsup: As for whether the code itself had a yield operator, it was so long ago I cannot remember. I'll give the programmer the benefit of the doubt.

Just as long as it isn't alphabetical...I got tired of being at the end of the line in Elementary :-\

I think Luc may have been hinting at this - he'd better remember not to make such hints so subtle next time... "they probably will have introduced a new keyword yielding some attention to more recent customers..."

I once saw a programmer write this.
foreach (User user in users) { return user; }:laugh:I have seen this when the array doesn't contain a indexing property. return users[0]; // Doesn't work I seem to remember this being the default behaviour for non generic Lists in early .net (2?).

I've seen that - and I've also done this "kludge" when I literally didn't have time to look it up: e.g. Must get done fast, bigger fish to fry.. this works - move on. Not ideal - but - depends what's going on.. schedule.. time constraints. It's still readable at least. --Jason

If, in fact, you are using .NET 3.5, as otherwise this doesn't exist.

That code necessarily returns the first item in enumerating "users". Had it been a yield return things would be different though.

Ummm... yeah, so? :confused:
