LINQ Append Method in C#:

The LINQ Append Method in C# is used to append a value to the end of the sequence. This method does not modify the elements of the sequence. Instead, it creates a copy of the sequence with the new appended element. If you go to the definition of the Append Method, then you will see the following signature.

Type Parameters

TSource: The data type of the elements contained in the sequence.

Parameters:

IEnumerable<TSource> source: A sequence of values.
TSource element: The value to append at the end of the sequence.

Returns:

IEnumerable<TSource>: A new sequence that ends with the element.

Exceptions: When the source is null, it will throw ArgumentNullException.

Note: This method is supported by Framework 4.7.1 or later.

Example:

The following example shows how to use the Append Method to append a value to the end of the sequence. The following example is self-explained. So, please go through the comment lines.


using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System;

namespace LinqDemo
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Creating a list of integer
            List<int> intSequence = new List<int> { 10, 20, 30, 40 };

            // Trying to append 5 at the end of the intSequence
            intSequence.Append(5);

            //It doesn't work because the original list has not been changed
            Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", intSequence));

            // It works now because we are using a changed copy of the original sequence
            Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", intSequence.Append(5)));

            // Creating a new sequence explicitly
            List<int> newintSequence = intSequence.Append(5).ToList();

            // Printing the new sequence in the console
            Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", newintSequence));

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

using System.Linq;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System;

namespace LinqDemo

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

// Creating a list of integer

List<int> intSequence = new List<int> { 10, 20, 30, 40 };

// Trying to append 5 at the end of the intSequence

intSequence.Append(5);

//It doesn't work because the original list has not been changed

Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", intSequence));

// It works now because we are using a changed copy of the original sequence

Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", intSequence.Append(5)));

// Creating a new sequence explicitly

List<int> newintSequence = intSequence.Append(5).ToList();

// Printing the new sequence in the console

Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", newintSequence));

Console.ReadKey();

}

In the next article, I am going to discuss the LINQ Prepend Method in C# with examples. Here, in this article, I try to explain the LINQ Append Method with an example.
