Question

I have this code and I understand that it’s sorting the list lstDMV. But please help me break it down.

lstDMV.Sort((x, y) => DateTime.Compare(x.NotifDate, y.NotifDate));

What does => mean? And how does it work based on the integer returned from the compare function?

How can I sort my lstDMV if I’m sorting integers instead of dates?

Answer 1

The lambda operator => in

lstDMV.Sort((x, y) => DateTime.Compare(x.NotifDate, y.NotifDate));

basically creates a new delegare with a block of code to excecute. The x and y is past along as parameters.

you could sort a list of int by changing the code to

lstDMV.Sort((x, y) => x.CompareTo(y));
