C# -Closure -Clarification
- by nettguy
I am learning C#.Can I mean closure as a construct that can adopt the changes in the environment in which it is defined.
Example :
List<Person> gurus =
new List<Person>()
{
new Person{id=1,Name="Jon Skeet"},
new Person{id=2,Name="Marc Gravell"},
new Person{id=3,Name="Lasse"}
};
void FindPersonByID(int id)
{
gurus.FindAll(delegate(Person x) { return x.id == id; });
}
The variable id is declared in the scope of FindPersonByID() but t we still can access
the local variable id inside the anonymous function (i.e) delegate(Person x) { return x.id == id; }
(1) Is my understanding of closure is correct ?
(2) What are the aditional advantages can we get from closures?
