C# Eval Expression LINQ Dynamic - Aggregate

LINQ Dynamic Aggregate Examples

C# Dynamic LINQ Aggregate examples using an Expression Evaluator.

Aggregate - Simple

This C# example uses the LINQ Aggregate method with a dynamic expression to create a running product on the array that calculates the total product of all elements.

LINQ

double[] doubles = {1.7, 2.3, 1.9, 4.1, 2.9};

var product = doubles.Aggregate((runningProduct, nextFactor) => runningProduct * nextFactor);

Console.WriteLine("Total product of all numbers: {0}", product);

LINQ Execute

double[] doubles = {1.7, 2.3, 1.9, 4.1, 2.9};

var product = doubles.Execute<double>("Aggregate((runningProduct, nextFactor) => runningProduct * nextFactor)");

Console.WriteLine("Total product of all numbers: {0}", product);

Result

Total product of all numbers: 88.33081

Aggregate - Seed

This C# example uses the LINQ Aggregate method with a dynamic expression to create a running account balance that subtracts each withdrawal from the initial balance of 100, as long as the balance never drops below 0.

LINQ

var startBalance = 100.0;

int[] attemptedWithdrawals = {20, 10, 40, 50, 10, 70, 30};

var endBalance = attemptedWithdrawals.Aggregate(startBalance, (balance, nextWithdrawal) => nextWithdrawal <= balance ? balance - nextWithdrawal : balance);

Console.WriteLine("Ending balance: {0}", endBalance);

Try it online

LINQ Execute

var startBalance = 100.0;

int[] attemptedWithdrawals = {20, 10, 40, 50, 10, 70, 30};

var endBalance = attemptedWithdrawals.Execute<double>("Aggregate(startBalance, (balance, nextWithdrawal) => ((nextWithdrawal <= balance) ? (balance - nextWithdrawal) : balance)", new {startBalance});

Console.WriteLine("Ending balance: {0}", endBalance);

Try it online

Result

Ending balance: 20
