Knowledge Check - Lambdas

1. True/False. Lambda expressions are a special type of method.

True. One that does not have a formal name and cannot be reused.

2. True/False. You can name a lambda expression.

False. Lambda expressions cannot have a name. Lambdas are meant to be discarded after use. If you want something you can use and reuse, consider either a local function or even just a private method in the class you are working in.

3. Convert the following to a lambda: bool IsNegative(int x) { return x < 0; }

x => x < 0

4. True/False. Lambda expressions can only have one parameter.

The syntax is simpler when you only have one parameter (you don’t need parentheses), but you can define a lambda with 0 or many parameters by using parentheses.
