The Weird and The Wonderful
The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors,
Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.
We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid
workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write -
the truly sublime.
Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no
programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All
actual programming questions will be removed.

var someVar = someList.SelectMany(λ => λ);
In some cases, my signature will be longer than my message...

Well that makes sense if someList is a list of objects which implement IEnumerable (like List<List<int>>. A bit weird but no horror.

Which is why this forum is called "The Weird and The Wonderful"!!

It's not even weird, if you want to flat a list of lists then that's the best way to do it.

I think one posted in the chatroom a coupla days ago had C++11... [](){[](){}();}(); ... but I suspect he was trolling.

The great thing about C++ is: you can never be sure.

xD .. If i'm not mistaken, that is just an empty lambda nested inside another one ... I wonder if one could go on and on like that. -- But in the end it would do nothing (besides probably a stack overflow, if you take it too far^^)

I think I have to classify this as "wonderful", because it's honestly pretty common.
The simplest case of SelectMany is to flatten a "List of List of Objects" into a "List of Objects". And that's exactly what this lambda does.
I guess the "weird" here is that SelectMany is doing some extra magic merging the lists.

As well as the actual lambda Greek letter.

I hate it when people stand behind me in covert and watch my screen while I peacefully code. I loose my balance.. chemically

True, however the last two words in the sentence above are the important ones.

I guess this explains why his manager thinks he needs to monitor what this guy's coding

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

I guess I am glad I'm not his manager!
