Observable.Generate<TState, TResult> Method (TState, Func<TState, Boolean>, Func<TState, TState>, Func<TState, TResult>, IScheduler)
Generates an observable sequence by iterating a state from an initial state until the condition fails.
Namespace: System.Reactive.Linq
Assembly: System.Reactive (in System.Reactive.dll)

JScript does not support generic types and methods.
Type Parameters
- TState
The type of state.
- TResult
The type of result.
Parameters
- initialState
Type: TState
The initial state.
- condition
Type: System.Func<TState, Boolean>
The condition to terminate generation.
- iterate
Type: System.Func<TState, TState>
The iteration step function.
- resultSelector
Type: System.Func<TState, TResult>
The selector function for results produced in the sequence.
- scheduler
Type: System.Reactive.Concurrency.IScheduler
The scheduler on which to run the generator loop.
Return Value
Type: System.IObservable<TResult>
The generated sequence.
Remarks
The Generate operator generates a sequence of the type TState by applying the iterate function to initialState until the condition function returns false for the current state. The resultSelector function is run for each state to generate each item in the resulting sequence.
Examples
This code example uses the Generate operator to generate a sequence of the integers that are perfect squares less than 1000.
using System;
using System.Reactive.Concurrency;
using System.Reactive.Linq;
namespace Example
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
//*********************************************************************************************//
//*** Generate a sequence of integers which are the perfect squares that are less than 100. ***//
//*********************************************************************************************//
var obs = Observable.Generate(1, // Initial state value
x => x * x < 1000, // The termination condition. Terminate generation when false (the integer squared is not less than 1000).
x => x + 1, // Iteration step function updates the state and returns the new state. In this case state is incremented by 1.
x => x * x, // Selector function determines the next resulting value in the sequence. The state of type in is squared.
Scheduler.ThreadPool); // The ThreadPool scheduler runs the generation on a thread pool thread instead of the main thread.
using (IDisposable handle = obs.Subscribe(x => Console.WriteLine(x)))
{
Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to exit...\n");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
}
The following output demonstrates running the example code.
Press ENTER to exit...
