Every time I need to do something N times inside an algorithm using C# I write this code
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
...
}
Studying Ruby I have learned about method times() which can be used with the same semantics like this
N.times do
...
end
Code fragment in C# looks more complex and we should declare useless variable i.
I tried to write extension method which returns IEnumerable, but I am not satisfied with the result because again I have to declare a cycle variable i.
public static class IntExtender
{
public static IEnumerable Times(this int times)
{
for (int i = 0; i < times; i++)
yield return true;
}
}
...
foreach (var i in 5.Times())
{
...
}
Is it possible using some new C# 3.0 language features to make N times cycle more elegant?
