Syntax:
Or
Where input_source is the data source.
Parameters:
It takes an integer value(n) that skips that number of elements from the given data structure from first and returns the remaining elements.
Now, consider a scenario where the value of n(integer) is greater than the total number of elements in the data structure, all the elements in the data structure are skipped without any error.
Example 1:
Here, we will create a list that has 10 integers and skip 5 elements using the Skip operator using both the methods(Method and Query).
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
//create a class - Linuxhint
class Linuxhint
{
static public void Main(){
//create List named input
var input = new List() {34,56,78,12,34,53,56,78,90,100};
//return remaining integers by skipping 5 values
var result=input.Skip(5);
Console.WriteLine("---Using Method---");
//display the result
foreach (int i in result)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
Console.WriteLine("---Using Query---");
//return remaining integers by skipping 5 values
foreach (int j in (from element in input select element).Skip(5))
{
Console.WriteLine(j);
}
}
}
Output:
Explanation:
1. First, we created a list named input_numbers that hold 10 integer elements.
2. After that, we are skipping 5 values using Skip() with Method syntax.
3. Finally, we are displaying the remaining values using a foreach loop.
4. Similarly, we are displaying remaining values by skipping 5 values using Query Syntax.
Example 2:
Here, we will create a string array that has 4 strings and skip 6 elements using the Skip operator using both the methods(Method and Query).
using System.Linq;
//create a class - Linuxhint
class Linuxhint
{
static public void Main(){
//create string array named input
string[] input = {"Linuxhint","java","html","sravan"};
//skip all strings
var result=input.Skip(6);
Console.WriteLine("---Using Method---");
//display the result
foreach (string i in result)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
Console.WriteLine("---Using Query---");
//display the result by skipping all strings.
foreach (string j in (from element in input select element).Skip(6))
{
Console.WriteLine(j);
}
}
}
Output:
So, you can see that all the elements are skipped.
Explanation:
Create a string array named input that holds 4 strings.
Use Method syntax to skip all values using the Skip() operator.
Use Query syntax to skip all values using the Skip() operator.
Conclusion
We have seen how to skip the elements using Skip() operator in C# – LINQ. It takes an integer value(n) that skips that number of elements from the given data structure from first and returns the remaining elements.
In each example we implemented Skip() with Method as well as Query syntax. Finally, we came to notice that if the value of n(integer) is greater than the total number of elements in the data structure, then all the elements in the data structure are skipped without any error.
