• Can I write a function in C#, that will take some function with its input param

    Abhey Member

    Let’s say I want to have some arbitrary functions like:

    MyFunc(1, 2, "hello")
    AnotherFunc(25.3, "have a good day", "here's another string", 22)

    Can I pass this function off to a function that takes arbitrary functions that will get called later when some event occurs?

    I’m not at all interested in events – just the syntax to call these functions later on….
    In JavaScript, this is super simple. Not sure if this is possible in C#.

    MyFunc(1, 2, "hello")
    AnotherFunc(25.3, "have a good day", "here's another string", 22)
    void Myfunc(int one,int two,string hello){
    //todo: do something here
    }
    AnotherFunc(double dblone,string strGreeting,string strAnother, int param4)
    {
    //todo: do something here
    }
    

    Can I pass this function off to a function that takes arbitrary functions that will get called later when some event occurs? You would have to have the variables set as global otherwise they would be out of scope. Global variables are highly frowned upon by the code

    You might be looking for Delegates…but we’d need more details about how you’d actually do this to be sure:

    I’m looking for what JavaScript has but in c#. You can pass a function that exists nowhere else- as an argument to another function.

    Something like this

    B(A(str) { print(str); } );
    
    Void B(func f){
       //do some work
      f("hello"):   // prints hello
    }
