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.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

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...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
