C# Delegates, chaining

Emanuel Gustafzon - Jun 26 -

An awesome feature of delegates are that you can chain methods together.

This enables you to create an instance of the delegate object and in one call, invoke multiple methods.

I think code below kind of explain itself.


class Program {

  public delegate void mathCalculation(int a, int b);

  public static void addition(int a, int b) {
      Console.WriteLine($"Addition: {a + b}");
  }

  public static void multiply(int a, int b)
  {           
  Console.WriteLine($"Multiplication { a * b}");
  }

  public static void Main (string[] args) {

    mathCalculation add = addition;
    mathCalculation mult = multiply;

    mathCalculation chainMath = add + mult;

    chainMath(10, 20);

    chainMath -= add; 

    chainMath(10, 20);
  }
}
