LINQExtensions

A collection of extension methods for IEnumerable, List and arrays.

Examples

RandomElement/Shuffle/ToOneLineString

{C#}
int[] items = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

// Gets a random item
Debug.Log(items.RandomElement());

// Shuffles the array in place
items.Shuffle();

// Outputs the array on one line. Great for debugging.
// Example output:
// "3", "5", "2", "1", "4"
Debug.Log(items.ToOneLineString());

Nearest

{C#}
public class LINQExtensionsExamples : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] Transform[] elements;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            // Get the x/y position of the click (for an orthographic camera)
            var mousePositionWorld = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

            // Gets the element closest to the mouse click
            var nearestElement = elements.Nearest(mousePositionWorld);

            Debug.Log("Nearest element " + nearestElement.name + " at position " + nearestElement.position);
        }
    }
}
