Question

I have class Reward which i keep user money per game.
I have two list somehow I need to concate. I write sample lists and desired result below.

public class Reward
{
    public int Game { get; set; }
    public int User { get; set; }
    public int Money { get; set; }

    public Reward Merge(Reward p)
    {
       return new Reward { Game = this.Game, User = this.User, Money = this.Money + p.Money};
    }
}

    IList<Reward> list1 = new List<Reward>();
    list1.Add(new Reward {Game = 1, User = 1, Money = 10});
    list1.Add(new Reward { Game = 1, User = 2, Money = 20 });
    list1.Add(new Reward { Game = 1, User = 3, Money = 30 });


    IList<Reward> list2 = new List<Reward>();
    list2.Add(new Reward { Game = 2, User = 1, Money = 15 });
    list2.Add(new Reward { Game = 2, User = 2, Money = 25 });
    list2.Add(new Reward { Game = 2, User = 4, Money = 35 });

Result List should be

User Money
1    25
2    45
3    30
4    35

I try

IList<Reward> listConcat = list1.Concat(list2)
                .GroupBy(u=> u.User)
                .Select(???)
                .ToList();

but how?

Answer 1

You were on the right track with GroupBy, this should do the job:

IEnumerable<Reward> result =
    from r in list1.Concat(list2)
    group r by r.User into groupedRewards
    select new Reward
    {
        Game = 0,   //what game to use?
        User = groupedRewards.Key,
        Money = groupedRewards.Sum(r => r.Money)
    };

EDIT: Same thing with lambda expression:

IEnumerable<Reward> result = list1.Concat(list2)
    .GroupBy(u => u.User)
    .Select(g => new Reward
    {
        Game = 0,  //what game to use?
        User = g.Key,
        Money = g.Sum(r => r.Money)
    });
