Lambda expression si recursivitatea

Astazi aveam de parcurs o structura arborescenta. Din punct de vedere a implementarii nu era cine stie si aveam doua optiuni:
  • o metoda care se apeleaza recursiv;
  • un while care sa faca cautarea in interiorul la structura pe care o aveam;
Dar am zis sa incerc sa folosesc expressi lambda si iata ce a iesit:
Func<Tree, Tree> searchParent =
currentCategorie =>
!currentCategorie.Parent != null
? currentCategorie
: searchParent(PlainTree.First(parentTree => parentTree == currentTree.Parent));

Sa va spun sincer am renutat la ea, din cauza ca nu era tocmai usor de inteles. Dar conteaza ca se poate, iar daca ne folosim imaginatia putem sa facem unele chestii destul de interesante.
Problema care o vad nu este la modul de implementare, nu este complicat deloc sa folosim doar expresii lambda( daca ne ajutam si de Func,Action si delegates putem sa facem aproape orice). Probleme o sa apara in momentul in care vrem sa facem debug pe un cod care nu este scris de noi. Expresiile lambda nu sunt foarte usor de inteles cand se intind pe mai multe randuri, iar impreuna cu recursivitate o sa le dam batai de cap celor care vin dupa noi. Codul IL generat in spate daca folosim lambda expression o sa fie chiar mai complicat decat daca folosim mecanismul standard.
Iata un exemplu de program care foloseste lambda expression si recursivitatea:
public class Program

{

delegate T SelfApplicable<T>(SelfApplicable<T> self);



static void Main(string[] args)

{

// The Y combinator

SelfApplicable<

Func<Func<Func<int,int>,Func<int,int>>,Func<int,int>>

> Y = y => f => x => f(y(y)(f))(x);



// The fixed point generator

Func<Func<Func<int, int>, Func<int, int>>, Func<int, int>> Fix =

Y(Y);



// The higher order function describing factorial

Func<Func<int,int>,Func<int,int>> F =

fac => x => x == 0 ? 1 : x * fac(x-1);



// The factorial function itself

Func<int,int> factorial = Fix(F);



for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {

Console.WriteLine(factorial(i));

}

}

}

Eu cred ca as cobora un sfant daca ar trebuii sa fac debug pe codul de mai sus. Nu il poti intelege in 2 secunde, ai nevoie de cateva momente pana intelegi ce se face acolo.
Unde as folosii eu expresiila lambda si recusivitatea? Pe orice fel de grafe, dar nu as incerca sa implementez in expresii lambda tot mecanismul de recursivitate.
Ar fi mai interesant ca avem metode ajutatoare pe noduri, care sa ne ajute sa iteram noduriile fiu de exemplu pe baza unor conditii care le dam prin expresii lambda, iar cand ajungem la nodul dorit sa putem executa o actiun pe baza unui action.
public void ProcessChildrens(Func<Node,bool> condition,Action<Node> action)
{
Childrens.ForEach(node => node.ProcessChildrens(condition, action));

if (condition(this))
{
action(this);
}
}


Concluzie: Chiar daca e mai fancy sa implemetam o functie recursiva intr-o lambda expression, nu recomand acest lucru daca codul este de o complexitate mediu sa ridicata, deoarece o sa fie foarte greu de inteles apoi. Dar exista cazuri cand ne putem folosii de ele.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...
