Array.TrueForAll<T>(T[], Predicate<T>) Method

Definition

Determines whether every element in the array matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate.

public:
generic <typename T>
 static bool TrueForAll(cli::array <T> ^ array, Predicate<T> ^ match);
public static bool TrueForAll<T> (T[] array, Predicate<T> match);
static member TrueForAll : 'T[] * Predicate<'T> -> bool
Public Shared Function TrueForAll(Of T) (array As T(), match As Predicate(Of T)) As Boolean

Type Parameters

T

The type of the elements of the array.

Parameters

array
T[]

The one-dimensional, zero-based Array to check against the conditions.

match
Predicate<T>

The predicate that defines the conditions to check against the elements.

Returns

true if every element in array matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate; otherwise, false. If there are no elements in the array, the return value is true.

Exceptions

array is null.

-or-

match is null.

Examples

The following example determines whether the last character of each element in a string array is a number. It creates two string arrays. The first array includes both strings that end with alphabetic characters and strings that end with numeric characters. The second array consists only of strings that end with numeric characters. The example also defines an EndWithANumber method whose signature matches the Predicate<T> delegate. The example passes each array to the TrueForAll method along with a delegate that represents the EndsWithANumber method.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      String[] values1 = { "Y2K", "A2000", "DC2A6", "MMXIV", "0C3" };
      String[] values2 = { "Y2", "A2000", "DC2A6", "MMXIV_0", "0C3" };

      if (Array.TrueForAll(values1, EndsWithANumber))
         Console.WriteLine("All elements end with an integer.");
      else
         Console.WriteLine("Not all elements end with an integer.");

      if (Array.TrueForAll(values2, EndsWithANumber))
         Console.WriteLine("All elements end with an integer.");
      else
         Console.WriteLine("Not all elements end with an integer.");
   }

   private static bool EndsWithANumber(string value)
   {
      int s;
      return int.TryParse(value.Substring(value.Length - 1), out s);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Not all elements end with an integer.
//       All elements end with an integer.
open System

let endsWithANumber (value: string) =
    value.Substring(value.Length - 1)
    |> Int32.TryParse
    |> fst

let values1 = [| "Y2K"; "A2000"; "DC2A6"; "MMXIV"; "0C3" |]
let values2 = [| "Y2"; "A2000"; "DC2A6"; "MMXIV_0"; "0C3" |]

if Array.TrueForAll(values1, endsWithANumber) then
    printfn "All elements end with an integer."
else
    printfn "Not all elements end with an integer."

if Array.TrueForAll(values2, endsWithANumber) then
    printfn "All elements end with an integer."
else
    printfn "Not all elements end with an integer."


// The example displays the following output:
//       Not all elements end with an integer.
//       All elements end with an integer.
Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim values1() As String = { "Y2K", "A2000", "DC2A6", "MMXIV", "0C3" }
      Dim values2() As String = { "Y2", "A2000", "DC2A6", "MMXIV_0", "0C3" }


      If Array.TrueForAll(values1, AddressOf EndsWithANumber) Then
         Console.WriteLine("All elements end with an integer.")
      Else
         Console.WriteLine("Not all elements end with an integer.")
      End If  
       
      If Array.TrueForAll(values2, AddressOf EndsWithANumber) Then
         Console.WriteLine("All elements end with an integer.")
      Else
         Console.WriteLine("Not all elements end with an integer.")
      End If   
   End Sub

   Private Function EndsWithANumber(value As String) As Boolean
      Dim s As Integer
      Return Int32.TryParse(value.Substring(value.Length - 1), s)
   End Function
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       Not all elements end with an integer.
'       All elements end with an integer.

The following example is similar to the first, except that it passes the string array to the TrueForAll method along with a lambda expression that determines whether a particular array element ends with the string representation of a number.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      String[] values = { "Y2K", "A2000", "DC2A6", "MMXIV", "0C3" };
      if (Array.TrueForAll(values, value => {
                                      int s;
                                      return int.TryParse(value.Substring(value.Length - 1), out s); }
                                   ))
         Console.WriteLine("All elements end with an integer.");
      else
         Console.WriteLine("Not all elements end with an integer.");
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//        Not all elements end with an integer.
open System

let values = [| "Y2K"; "A2000"; "DC2A6"; "MMXIV"; "0C3" |]
if Array.TrueForAll(values, 
    fun value -> 
        value.Substring(value.Length - 1) 
        |> Int32.TryParse 
        |> fst) then
    printfn "All elements end with an integer."
else
    printfn "Not all elements end with an integer."
   
   
// The example displays the following output:
//        Not all elements end with an integer.
Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim values() As String = { "Y2K", "A2000", "DC2A6", "MMXIV", "0C3" }
      'Dim values2() As String = { "Y2", "A2000", "DC2A6", "MMXIV_0", "0C3" }

      If Array.TrueForAll(values, Function(value) 
                                     Dim s As Integer
                                     Return Int32.TryParse(value.Substring(value.Length - 1), s)
                                  End Function) Then
         Console.WriteLine("All elements end with an integer.")
      Else
         Console.WriteLine("Not all elements end with an integer.")
      End If   
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       Not all elements end with an integer.

In both cases, the TrueForAll method returns false as soon as it encounters the first array element that does not end in a number. Otherwise, it returns true after iterating all the elements in the array.

Note

As both examples show, in C# and Visual Basic, it is not necessary to create the Predicate<string> delegate (Predicate(Of String) in Visual Basic) explicitly. These languages infer the correct delegate from context and create it automatically.

Remarks

The Predicate<T> is a delegate to a method that returnstrue if the object passed to it matches the conditions defined in the delegate. The elements of array are individually passed to the Predicate<T>, and processing is stopped when the delegate returns false for any element.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the Length of array.
