@Mat'sMug GenericExtensions.MatchWhen(...)?

No, still not right.

Mat's Mug

Note to self: avoid refactoring over lunch. That ref input is superfluous

EBrown

GRAH

Mat's Mug

@EBrown it needs to convey that it's returnimg a key, somehow

EBrown

Yeah.

Mat's Mug

FindKey?

GenericExtensions.KeyWhen()

@Mat'sMug That might work.

Need to post it up for review, maybe I'll get suggestions then. :P

Gah, time for work.

Q: Return a key when a function returns true

I've no idea what to call this, so I called it Classify since that's how I use it. Basically, the idea is to pass a Dictionary<TResult, Func<TValue, bool>> which is evaluated for an input, and the first Func<TValue, bool> returning true will return the TResult key. public TResult Classify<TValu...

I've got an answer from SO on my code ... The world is kidding. Only my compiler is wrong. Not even the compilers with the same version. It seems like my luck has no bounds

Mat's Mug

@EBrown you've been mugged

return classifications.FirstOrDefault(item => item.Value.Invoke(input)).Key;

EBrown

@Mat'sMug That works for that method. :)

You're right - I think that should be OK for this field, but I'm under policy restrictions and that won't pass code review. If performance limitations persist though, then I might pursue an exemption. — Jeff Puckett II 24 secs ago

@Mat'sMug they do indeed.

Edited my question in order to better explain my problem / request. As for the reason I am doing this is solely because I need an extension that will be able to execute a webrequest and retrieve the response asynchronously with support for cancellation and time out. — Gregory 48 mins ago

talk about misusing Excel though!

Excel is not a ~~database~~ 14-inch monitor!

If the OP doubts the code is correct, it is off topic for Code Review. Despite that, if he presents full code and asks for improvement of already working code, it is welcome. — Olzhas Zhumabek just now

This question appears to be off-topic because it is a code review request. This is better suited to the Code Review Stack Exchange site. Before posting there be sure to read their FAQ to ensure that your question meets their guidelines. — John Conde 23 secs ago

This question could be suitable for Code Review, as long as (a) your code works as intended, (b) your code is real code, rather than example code, and (c) your code is included in the body of the question. If you wish for a peer review to improve all aspects of your code, please post it on Code Review. — Mike McCaughan 42 secs ago

@N3buchadnezzar is it pretty rare for a propositional function to take 3 arguments? e.g., \$\exists y \exists x \forall z F(x,y,z)\$ ?

Would something like this more often be broken down in 2 (or more) functions?

N3buchadnezzar

@Phrancis No idea. I do not see any problems with a function with more arguments. It would just be a line in 3d space.

Never encountered it though.

Phrancis

I guess it would really depends on the context/environment eh

Vogel612

@Mat'sMug is the iteration order of a Dictionary even guaranteed???

Hosch250

@Vogel612 I don't think so.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure it won't change now.

Too many people rely on it as being guaranteed.

Vogel612

that's ... dangerous

In java I know there's some implementations that guarantee iteration order..

Hosch250

Yup, that's right.

Mat's Mug

11:14 PM

@Vogel612 nope. But OP didn't care either. But yeah it's a good point, I just added it to my answer - thanks for the reminder! :-)

Hosch250

Jon Skeet explicitly mentions to not rely on it in Appendix B.

Vogel612

There's the interface SortedMap ... I like where this is going

Hosch250

Well, .NET has SortedList and SortedDictionary, both of which are dictionaries.
