比较两个对象的相等性,而不必重写Equals或实现IEquatable<>。

你为什么要这么做?当你真的想知道两个对象是否相等,但你懒得重写Equals(object)或实现IEquatable<T>。或者,更现实地说,如果您有一个非常复杂的类,手工实现Equals将非常乏味、容易出错,维护起来也不有趣。如果您不太关心性能,它也会有所帮助。

我目前使用IsEqualTo是因为第二个原因——我有一个具有许多属性的类,这些属性的类型是其他用户定义的类,每个类都有许多其他属性,这些属性的类型是其他用户定义的类,一直到无限。在许多这样的类中加入一堆集合,实现Equals(object)真的变成了一场噩梦。

用法:

if (myTerriblyComplexObject.IsEqualTo(myOtherTerriblyComplexObject))
{
    // Do something terribly interesting.
}

为了确定相等,我做了很多比较。我尽一切努力按照“正确”的顺序做“正确”的事。比较顺序如下:

Use the static Equals(object, object) method. If it returns true, return true. It will return true if the references are the same. It will also return true if thisObject overrides Equals(object). If thisObject is null, return false. No further comparisons can be made if it is null. If thisObject has overridden Equals(object), return false. Since it overrides Equals, it must mean that Equals was executed at step #1 and returned false. If someone has bothered to override Equals, we should respect that and return what Equals returns. If thisObject inherits from IEquatable<T>, where otherObject can be assigned to T, get the Equals(T) method using reflection. Invoke that method and return its return value. If both objects are IEnumerable, return whether contain the same items, in the same order, using IsEqualTo to compare the items. If the objects have different types, return false. Since we know now that thisObject does not have an Equals method, there isn't any way to realistically evaluate two object of different types to be true. If the objects are a value type (primitive or struct) or a string, return false. We have already failed the Equals(object) test - enough said. For each property of thisObject, test its value with IsEqualTo. If any return false, return false. If all return true, return true.

字符串比较可能更好,但很容易实现。此外,我不能100%确定我处理结构正确。

话不多说,下面是扩展方法:

/// <summary>

public static class EqualsEx

    /// <summary>

    {
        if (Equals(thisObject, otherObject))
        {
            // Always check Equals first. If the object has overridden Equals, use it. This will also capture the case where both are the same reference.
            return true;
        }

        if (thisObject == null)
        {
            // Because Equals(object, object) returns true if both are null, if either is null, return false.
            return false;
        }

        var thisObjectType = thisObject.GetType();
        var equalsMethod = thisObjectType.GetMethod("Equals", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance, null, new[] { ObjectType }, null);
        if (equalsMethod.DeclaringType == thisObjectType)
        {
            // thisObject overrides Equals, and we have already failed the Equals test, so return false.
            return false;
        }

        var otherObjectType = otherObject == null ? null : otherObject.GetType();

        // If thisObject inherits from IEquatable<>, and otherObject can be passed into its Equals method, use it.
        var equatableTypes = thisObjectType.GetInterfaces().Where(                                          // Get interfaces of thisObjectType that...

            && (otherObjectType ==  null || i.GetGenericArguments()[0].IsAssignableFrom(otherObjectType))); // ...and otherObjectType can be assigned to the IEquatable's type.

        if (equatableTypes.Any())
        {
            // If we found any interfaces that meed our criteria, invoke the Equals method for each interface.

其他回答

如果你需要检查字符串的Is All char为0:

 static public bool   IsAllZero            (this string input)
        {
            if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
                return true;
            foreach (char ch in input)
            {
                if(ch != '0')
                    return false;
            }
            return true;
        }

将字符串的长度减少到toLength,并在缩短的字符串的末尾添加一个额外的字符串,以表示字符串被缩短(默认值…)

public static string Shorten(this string str, int toLength, string cutOffReplacement = " ...")
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str) || str.Length <= toLength)
        return str;
    else
        return str.Remove(toLength) + cutOffReplacement;
}

python字典方法:

/// <summary>
/// If a key exists in a dictionary, return its value, 
/// otherwise return the default value for that type.
/// </summary>
public static U GetWithDefault<T, U>(this Dictionary<T, U> dict, T key)
{
    return dict.GetWithDefault(key, default(U));
}

/// <summary>
/// If a key exists in a dictionary, return its value,
/// otherwise return the provided default value.
/// </summary>
public static U GetWithDefault<T, U>(this Dictionary<T, U> dict, T key, U defaultValue)
{
    return dict.ContainsKey(key)
        ? dict[key]
        : defaultValue;
}

当您希望将时间戳附加到文件名以确保唯一性时非常有用。

/// <summary>
/// Format a DateTime as a string that contains no characters
//// that are banned from filenames, such as ':'.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>YYYY-MM-DD_HH.MM.SS</returns>
public static string ToFilenameString(this DateTime dt)
{
    return dt.ToString("s").Replace(":", ".").Replace('T', '_');
}

IEnumerable < >洗牌

我用Fisher-Yates算法实现了一个shuffle函数。

通过使用yield return和将代码分解为两个函数,它实现了适当的参数验证和延迟执行。(谢谢丹,在我的第一个版本中指出了这个缺陷)

static public IEnumerable<T> Shuffle<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("source");

    return ShuffleIterator(source);
}

static private IEnumerable<T> ShuffleIterator<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    T[] array = source.ToArray();
    Random rnd = new Random();          
    for (int n = array.Length; n > 1;)
    {
        int k = rnd.Next(n--); // 0 <= k < n

        //Swap items
        if (n != k)
        {
            T tmp = array[k];
            array[k] = array[n];
            array[n] = tmp;
        }
    }

    foreach (var item in array) yield return item;
}

您可以从Random类中获得许多功能。

下面是我经常使用的一些扩展方法。有了这些,除了Next和NextDouble, Random类还提供了NextBool, NextChar, NextDateTime, NextTimeSpan, NextDouble(接受minValue和maxValue参数),以及我个人最喜欢的NextString。还有更多(NextByte, NextShort, NextLong等);但这些主要是为了完整性,并不经常使用。所以我没有在这里包含它们(这段代码已经足够长了!)。
