Q: 

Function augmentation in .Net?

Hi

During .Net interview, I was asked what is function augmentation. Never heard it and couldn't find anything related.

Any ideas what that is in .Net?

They probably were referring to extension methods?

Whatever "function augmentation" is (and I'm not claiming to know), the English interpretation of the phrase is enhancing functions. I would consider extension methods and enhancement of types, not of functions.

I totally agree.

maybe it is just Fluent Interface and he wanted to you infer what he mean

I was thinking on similar lines too. Like chaining of functions..

My guess is partial methods.

-- Edit:

Though it's worth noting, it's not a familiar term in the .NET world.

that's a possibility.

A: 

I'm just throwing this out wildly, but I bet he meant "how do you write a method that accepts a lambda function as its argument?"

In other words, he was looking for the use of the Func<> delegates.
