TakeWhile and SkipWhile Operator in Linq using VB.NET
Here we will see how to use TakeWhile and SkipWhile Operator in Linq.
TakeWhile operator
The TakeWhile operator yields elements from a sequence while a test is true and then skips the remainder of the sequence. The TakeWhile operator allocates and returns an enumerable object that captures the arguments passed to the operator.
For example
The below example defines the TakeWhile operator.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim numbers As Integer() = {3, 5, 2, 7, 4, 1, 9, 6}
Dim takeWhileSmall = numbers.TakeWhile(Function(n) n < 8)
For Each s As Integer In takeWhileSmall
Console.WriteLine(s)
Next
End Sub
End Module
OUTPUT
The above output defines that if the test condition is false after 3,5,2,7,4,1 element.
SkipWhile Operator
SkipWhile enumerates the input sequence, ignoring each item until the given predicate is false or, The SkipWhile operator skips elements from a sequence while a test is true and then yields the remainder of the sequence.
For example
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim numbers As Integer() = {3, 5, 2, 7, 4, 1, 9, 6}
Dim skipWhileSmall = numbers.SkipWhile(Function(n) n < 8)
For Each s As Integer In skipWhileSmall
Console.WriteLine(s)
Next
End Sub
End Module
OUTPUT
