This repository is meant to highlight some of the various functional techniques available in C#.

These functional elements of C# ultimately mean that there is quite a bit of syntactic congruence with JavaScript and TypeScript; in fact, I first noticed that C# and JavaScript starting to converge around the release of .NET 3.0.
For many developers that are ready to extend from JavaScript and TypeScript on the backend to a more secure, performant, and robust backend runtime, C# on .NET is a natural extension as it has a clear lineage with JavaScript and TypeScript while providing many benefits including easy mutli-threading, language integrated query (LINQ), and many other features.
If you'd like to learn more about C#'s functional features, check out:
- Lambda Expressions
- Local Functions
- Pattern Matching
- Discards
- Desconstructing
- var and Implicit Typing
- Object Initializers
- Array Initializers
Make a fork and send a PR! I'd love to see folks add more examples.
(It may make sense to have sub-folders under ts, js, and csharp)
Install Node: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
To run the JavaScript sample:
cd js
node sample.js
To try the battleships sample:
cd js-battleships
node battleships.js
Install TypeScript: https://www.typescriptlang.org/download
To run the TypeScript sample:
cd ts
tsc
node sample.js
To try the battleships sample:
cd ts-battleships
tsc
node battleships.js
Install the .NET SDK: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download
To run the base C# sample:
cd cs
dotnet run
You can also try out the Battleships C# sample which is even more functional and demonstrates recursion with C# local functions:
cd cs-battleships
dotnet run
To create your own .NET console project once you have the SDK installed:
dotnet new console
