Returns a sequence of values consecutively generated by a generator function.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public static IEnumerable<TResult> Generate<TResult>(
	TResult initial,
	Func<TResult, TResult> generator
)

Public Shared Function Generate(Of TResult) ( _
	initial As TResult, _
	generator As Func(Of TResult, TResult) _
) As IEnumerable(Of TResult)

public:
generic<typename TResult>
static IEnumerable<TResult>^ Generate(
	TResult initial, 
	Func<TResult, TResult>^ generator
)

Generic Template Parameters

Parameters

generator (Func<(Of <(<'TResult, TResult>)>)>): Generator function which takes the previous series element and uses it to generate the next element.

Return Value

[Missing <returns> documentation for "M:MoreLinq.MoreEnumerable.Generate``1(``0,System.Func{``0,``0})"]

Remarks

This function defers element generation until needed and streams the results.

Examples

	Copy
IEnumerable<int> result = Sequence.Generate(2, n => n * n).Take(5);

The result variable, when iterated over, will yield 2, 4, 16, 256, and 65536, in turn.
