The LINQ Except() method finds the set difference between two sequences. It returns a new sequence with the elements of the first sequence that are not in the second one, and it returns each of those elements only once. It comes in handy when we compare collections in...
Performing base 10 conversions is fundamental when learning basic computer science and mathematical concepts. Since we know computer systems understand binary, such conversions can help us form different number representations that we can use for various applications...
Knowing how to manipulate complex datatypes such as Lists is crucial when storing and manipulating data in C#. Sometimes, we may want to incorporate versatility by not having to define explicit classes and create generic lists of anonymous types in C#. In this...
Removing the last character of a string in C# is a single expression: inputString[..^1]. The range operator on a string compiles to Substring(0, Length - 1), so it is the call the framework has always had, with less to type and one fewer place to get the arithmetic...
Have you ever asked yourself how to calculate the date of the first day in a week, given the week number and a year in C#? The Gregorian Calendar has fifty-two full weeks and an extra day in a normal year, equivalent to 52.143. However, it also includes leap years...
Manipulating DateTime values is one of the most common operations in any application. Have we ever asked ourselves how to extract the quarter of a given date value in C#? In this article, we are going to understand how we can derive the quarter and financial quarter...
Manipulating date and time values is a common programming problem in many applications. Have you ever wondered how we can calculate the number of weekdays between two dates? Knowing how to do this can be crucial in scheduling, project management, or resource...
Manipulating numerical data is fundamental to many applications. In some cases, we may need to convert numbers between different bases. This article explores different ways to convert a number between hexadecimal and decimal in C# while offering insights into the...
In this article, we will compare the for and foreach loops. Iterating through arrays and lists is fundamental when learning any programming language. C# offers different ways to achieve this, such as using while, for, and foreach statements. But, what about the...
One of the programming scenarios we can encounter once in a while is checking whether certain items in a list exist in another. This article is going to dive deep into all the techniques to compare lists. We are also going to compare how these techniques perform and...
PeriodicTimer is a .NET timer that we await instead of handing it a callback. We call WaitForNextTickAsync() in a loop, do our work on each tick, and the loop ends when we cancel a token or dispose of the timer. We need this kind of loop whenever a task has to run at...
