Functional Programming in C# vs LISP [closed]

Answer 1

A little creativity combined with Linq (which basically is a functional language embedded in C# as becomes more obvious when watching Dr. Erik Meijers great video series on Haskell) will allow you to make your code look more functional.

Here an example without using Linq:

Haskell:

        minThree :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Int
        minThree x y z 
          | x <= y && x <=z   = x
          | y <=z             = y                      
          | otherwise         = z

C#:

    int MinThree(int x, int y, int z)
    {
        return
              x <= y && x <= z    ? x
            : y <= z              ? y
            : z;

    }

Just don't let Resharper Code Cleanup run over your code as it will make it look like this:

    int MinThree(int x, int y, int z)
    {
        return
            x <= y && x <= z
                ? x
                : y <= z
                      ? y
                      : z;
    }
