condition in recursion - best practise
- by mo
hi there!
what's the best practise to break a loop?
my ideas were:
Child Find(Parent parent, object criteria)
{
Child child = null;
foreach(Child wannabe in parent.Childs)
{
if (wannabe.Match(criteria))
{
child = wannabe;
break;
}
else
{
child = Find(wannabe, criteria);
}
}
return child;
}
or
Child Find(Parent parent, object criteria)
{
Child child = null;
var conditionator = from c parent.Childs where child != null select c;
foreach(Child wannabe in conditionator)
{
if (wannabe.Match(criteria))
{
child = wannabe;
}
else
{
child = Find(wannabe, criteria);
}
}
return child;
}
or
Child Find(Parent parent, object criteria)
{
Child child = null;
var enumerator = parent.Childs.GetEnumerator();
while(child != null && enumerator.MoveNext())
{
if (enumerator.Current.Match(criteria))
{
child = wannabe;
}
else
{
child = Find(wannabe, criteria);
}
}
return child;
}
what do u think, any better ideas?
i'm looking for the niciest solution :D
