Get an acronym from a string in C# using LINQ?

Question

Here is how I would write a function to make an acronym in Java style:

    string makeAcronym(string str)
    {
        string result = \"\";
        for (in         


        

Answer 1

You can use the LINQ Aggregate method to do this in a fairly elegant way.

Something like this:

private static string MakeAcronym2(string str)
{
    return str.Split(' ').Aggregate("", (x, y) => x += y[0]);
}
