❔ LINQ
Does linq have its own replace method? If so, does it make a new string or modify? Also is there a way to replace a string without making new string?
AWym a replace method?
AAnd no, strings are immutable
ASo unless you get into the
unsafe
M.replace()
AYeah, and why would LINQ need this method? What would you want to replace with it?
ABecause string already does have a replace method
MWhat's your starting point? A list of strings?
Myeah like words
Mi mean it's okay I think i know a way to work around something anyway
AAnd you want to replace every into or some such?
into for example?
into for example?
Myeah but i have it an a loop to find different words and it creates a new string everytime. so it would just return the latest string. The thing is I would want it to add on top of each other
Mand it replaces the string with user input
MIn LINQ you can use Select to project an original sequence into a new sequence.
MIf I was starting with a List I probably wouldn't use LINQ but if you want to, that's one way to approach it.
Moh alr
Mwhat if you wanted to change a and c
MAdd more logic inside the lambda
AYou could define a dictionary of replacements too
AOr a switch expression, even better, yea
Myeah that's good
Mthanks guys
Twhy wouldn't you use Linq when its a list?
MPerformance
Tcould you ellaborate a little more?
MLINQ in general is not great for performance so my first inclination is to avoid it if there is a trivial way to achieve the same thing. In most cases it probably doesn't matter much, but I am used to working on projects where performance is very important and the amount of data is large so LINQ is something I tend to avoid.
AWas this issue resolved? If so, run
/close- otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
