Enumerable.Sum<(Of <(TSource>)>) Method (IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>), Func<(Of <(TSource, Nullable<(Of <(Double>)>)>)>))
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Computes the sum of the sequence of nullable Double values that are obtained by invoking a transform function on each element of the input sequence.
Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Sum(Of TSource) ( _
source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), _
selector As Func(Of TSource, Nullable(Of Double)) _
) As Nullable(Of Double)
public static Nullable<double> Sum<TSource>(
this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
Func<TSource, Nullable<double>> selector
)
Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
Parameters
- source
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::.IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>)
A sequence of values that are used to calculate a sum.
- selector
Type: System..::.Func<(Of <(TSource, Nullable<(Of <(Double>)>)>)>)
A transform function to apply to each element.
Return Value
Type: System..::.Nullable<(Of <(Double>)>)
The sum of the projected values.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>). When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.
Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException | source or selector is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
This method returns zero if source contains no elements.
The result does not include values that are nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
You can apply this method to a sequence of arbitrary values if you provide a function, selector, that projects the members of source into a numeric type, specifically Nullable<Double> in C# or Nullable(Of Double) in Visual Basic.
In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Sum() clause translates to an invocation of Enumerable.Sum.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use Sum<(Of <(TSource>)>)(IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>), Func<(Of <(TSource, Double>)>)) to sum the projected values of a sequence.
Note
This code example uses an overload of this overloaded method that is different from the specific overload that this topic describes. To extend the example to this topic, change the body of the selector function.
