Question

What is the difference between a lambda expression and a predicate in .NET?

Answer 1

A predicate is delegate (function object) that returns a boolean value. Lambda expressions can be used to define any anonymous function, which includes predicates, e.g. to express a predicate in the form of a lambda expression:

Predicate isEven2 = x => x % 2 == 0;

which is functionally equivalent to:

Func isEven = x => x % 2 == 0;
