C#3.0 predicate in Linq

[Guest]

Hi folks,
I have one code snippet as below: (C#3)

var numbers = new int[] {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
var evenNumbers = select p in numbers where (p % 2) == 0 select p;
In the above example, what is the predicate? Thanks.

Peter

Hello Peter,

"==" is the predicate . the same meaning as the SQL predicates - "like",
"between" and etc.

"(p % 2) == 0" is the predicate here - it's the bit which takes a
parameter and determines whether or not the parameter matches the
condition you want.

I'm not entirely sure your example is correct though. It's a while
since I've looked at LINQ, but isn't it more like:

from numbers where (p%2)==0 select p;

no that are operators.
Predicates are expression which resolve to true or false, e.g.
MyTable.MyField == 3
