Range Operator in Linq in .NET 4.0

Introduction

Linq is almost providing all the functionalities and i have found one another great operator called range operator which will return a sequence of integer number from start point to number of count.

Here is the signature of range operator in Linq.

public static IEnumerable<int> Range(int start, int count)

Here the Start means the starting integer of the sequence and count means the number of sequence you want from starting integer. Let’s take a simple example for that where will print 5 to 9 sequence with the help of range operator. Here is the code for that.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;


namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
 class Program
 {static void Main(string[] args)
     {
         var RangeResult = Enumerable.Range(5, 5);
         Console.WriteLine("Range Result");foreach (int num in RangeResult)
         {
             Console.WriteLine(num);
         }
     }

 }
}

And here is the output for that as expected.
