C# Querying With LINQ Functional Programming in C# LINQ Method Syntax

Step 2. Now, refactor the DisplayResult delegate to use a lambda expression?

I'm not understanding this step.

Current Go:

    public Func<int, int> Square => delegate (int number)
    {
        return number * number;
    };

    public Action<int, Func<int, int>> DisplayResult => delegate (int result, Func<int, int> function)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(function(result));
    };

The challenge "check work" function seems to be broken.

Not here, but in step one. It should not have passed your refactoring of Square.

A correctly refactored Square would look more like this:

        public Func<int, int> Square = number => number * number;

Notice that the equal sign (=) remains, but the term "delegate" does not. Also notice that the "goes to" symbols (=>) are placed between the argument and the returned value. Parentheses are not needed for a single argument, and braces are not needed for a return expression or a single statement.

Try using these guidelines for step 2, and/or review the video.

Also, you might want to report the challenge checker issue as a bug on the Support page.

For task two, remove all references to variables like ints, Func and the delegate too.

The solution is:

public Action<int, Func<int, int>> DisplayResult =  (result, function) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine(function(result));
        };

Got it thanks!

I still cannot get the second task. Help please!

First task I did

public Func<int, int> Square = (number) => 

and passed.

Second task I tried

public Action<int, Func<int, int>> DisplayResult => (result, Func<int,int> function) =>

.. Nope.. Didn't work. And Considering the incredible short introduction to Lambda I dont think I can solve it.

Another question I have to bypass :/

<p>public Action<int, Func<int, int>> DisplayResult = (int result, Func<int, int> function) => Console.WriteLine(function(result)); <p>

this should help

public Func<int, int> Square = number => number * number;
public Action<int, Func<int, int>> DisplayResult = result, function) => Console.WriteLine(function(result));

Because I have a hell of a time myself with this, here's what worked for me.
