- snprbob86 18y agoLet's look at a more complex example. Assume "page" is a list of strings. We want to get every word on the page (exact whitespace treatment and tokenizing behavior isn't important; just the gist) Python: (word for line in page for word in line.split()) C#: from line in page, word in line.Split() select word I think that translates to: page.SelectMany(line => line.Split()) The Python is a bit confusing; the first C# example is much easier to read. Verbosity is traded for understanding. It is a careful balancing act, but I prefer the balance in C# in this instance. (Don't get me wrong, C# and Python are by far my two favorite languages, I love them both)
