What is the C# equivalent of map function in Haskell

Question

map function in Haskell has two input parameters. The first parameter is a function and second parameter is a list. The map function applies the function passed as input parameter to all the elements in the list and returns a new list.

Is there a C# equivalent to this functionality?

Answer 1

Select

MSDN Reference

See my question here (Only if you are curious as it is not directly related).

Answer 2

And to answer a question you didn't ask, the Haskell equivalent of binding the "sequence" monad is called SelectMany in C#. See Wes Dyer's great article on this for details:

Answer 3

Since Select and SelectMany were already mentioned, I'll answer an additional question you didn't ask: fold is found as Aggregate.

Now everyone reading this should be fully equipped to go be That Guy who writes Language X using Language Y idioms... so for the sake of your fellow C# programmers, don't get too carried away.
