Overloads

ForAll(Int32, Int32, Predicate<Int32>)

ForAll(Int32, Int32, Predicate<Int32>)

Source:

Contracts.cs

Determines whether a particular condition is valid for all integers in a specified range.

C#
public static bool ForAll(int fromInclusive, int toExclusive, Predicate<int> predicate);

Parameters

fromInclusive
Int32

The first integer to pass to predicate.

toExclusive
Int32

One more than the last integer to pass to predicate.

predicate
Predicate<Int32>

The function to evaluate for the existence of the integers in the specified range.

Returns

true if predicate returns true for all integers starting from fromInclusive to toExclusive - 1.

Exceptions

predicate is null.

toExclusive is less than fromInclusive.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the ForAll method to determine whether an array has a null element.

C#
using System;
using System.Diagnostics.Contracts;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace AssumeEx
{
    class Program
    {
        // Start application with at least two arguments
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            args[1] = null;
            Contract.Requires(args != null && Contract.ForAll(0, args.Length, i => args[i] != null));
            // test the ForAll method.  This is only for purpose of demonstrating how ForAll works.
            CheckIndexes(args);
            Stack<string> numbers = new Stack<string>();
            numbers.Push("one");
            numbers.Push("two");
            numbers.Push(null);
            numbers.Push("four");
            numbers.Push("five");
            Contract.Requires(numbers != null && !Contract.ForAll(numbers, (String x) => x != null));
            // test the ForAll generic overload.  This is only for purpose of demonstrating how ForAll works.
            CheckTypeArray(numbers);
        }

        private static bool CheckIndexes(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                if (args != null && !Contract.ForAll(0, args.Length, i => args[i] != null))
                    throw new ArgumentException("The parameter array has a null element", "args");
                return true;
            }
            catch (ArgumentException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
                return false;
            }
        }
        private static bool CheckTypeArray(IEnumerable<String> xs)
        {
            try
            {
                if (xs != null && !Contract.ForAll(xs, (String x) => x != null))
                    throw new ArgumentException("The parameter array has a null element", "indexes");
                return true;
            }
            catch (ArgumentException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The toExclusive parameter is one more than the last integer to facilitate using the length of a range of integers starting at 0. For example, it would be set to 5 for integers 0 through 4.

ForAll<T>(IEnumerable<T>, Predicate<T>)

Source:
Contracts.cs
Source:
Contracts.cs
Source:
Contracts.cs

Determines whether all the elements in a collection exist within a function.

C#
public static bool ForAll<T>(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T> collection, Predicate<T> predicate);

Type Parameters

T

The type that is contained in collection.

Parameters

collection
IEnumerable<T>

The collection from which elements of type T will be drawn to pass to predicate.

predicate
Predicate<T>

The function to evaluate for the existence of all the elements in collection.

Returns

true if and only if predicate returns true for all elements of type T in collection.

Exceptions

collection or predicate is null.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the ForAll method to determine whether a collection has a null element.
