Explanation of Func

Question

I was wondering if someone could explain what Func is and how it is used with some clear examples.

Answer 1

It is a delegate that takes one int as a parameter and returns a value of type string.

Here is an example of its usage:

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Func func = bar;

        // now I have a delegate which 
        // I can invoke or pass to other
        // methods.
        func(1);
    }

    static String bar(Int32 value)
    {
        return value.ToString();
    }
}
