LINQ equivalent of foreach for IEnumerable

Question

I\'d like to do the equivalent of the following in LINQ, but I can\'t figure out how:

IEnumerable items = GetItems();
items.ForEach(i => i.DoS

This "functional approach" abstraction leaks big time. Nothing on the language level prevents side effects. As long as you can make it call your lambda/delegate for every element in the container - you will get the "ForEach" behavior.

Here for example one way of merging srcDictionary into destDictionary (if key already exists - overwrites)

this is a hack, and should not be used in any production code.

var b = srcDictionary.Select(
                             x=>
                                {
                                  destDictionary[x.Key] = x.Value;
                                  return true;
                                }
                             ).Count();
