Pad Method (source, width)

Pads a sequence with default values if it is narrower (shorter in length) than a given width.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public static IEnumerable<TSource> Pad<TSource>(
	this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
	int width
)

<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Pad(Of TSource) ( _
	source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), _
	width As Integer _
) As IEnumerable(Of TSource)

public:
[ExtensionAttribute]
generic<typename TSource>
static IEnumerable<TSource>^ Pad(
	IEnumerable<TSource>^ source, 
	int width
)

Generic Template Parameters

TSource: The type of the elements of source.

Parameters

source (IEnumerable<(Of <(<'TSource>)>)>): The sequence to pad.

width (Int32): The width/length below which to pad.

Return Value

Returns a sequence that is at least as wide/long as the width/length specified by the width parameter.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<(Of <(<'TSource>)>)>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Remarks

This operator uses deferred execution and streams its results.

Examples

	Copy
int[] numbers = { 123, 456, 789 }; IEnumerable<int> result = numbers.Pad(5);

The result variable, when iterated over, will yield 123, 456, 789 and two zeroes, in turn.
