Abstract

In this article I will explain how to use linq to process data. With this library you can use filtering, selections, aggregations, groupings and many more. For full support it requires clang or gcc, and boost

How to use

This library is a Header only library. You only have to integrate the C++ header in your project environment. When you’re done you can use the linq functions.

Select

    std::vector<int> v = { 1, 2, 4 };

    //linq form
    auto q = LINQ(from(x, v) select(x * 3));

    //q -> result {3,6,12}

    //extension form
    auto r = v 
        | linq::select([](int x) { return x * 3; });

OrderBy

    std::vector<int> v = { 4, 2, 8 };

    //linq form
    auto q = LINQ(from(x, v) orderby( descending x) select(x));

    //q -> result {8,4,2}

Where

    vector<int> v = { 1, 3, 4, 5 };

    auto q = LINQ(from(i, v) where(i % 2));

    //q -> result {4}

    //extension form
    auto r = v 
        | linq::where([](int x){ return x % 2})
        | linq::select([](int x) { return x; });
