Lambda Expressions

A lambda expression in C#3.0 provides a smooth notation for anonymous functions

Anonymous method expressions in C#2.0 - delegate(...) {statements} - is very similar to lambda expressions

Five equivalent functions - from anonymous method expressions to lambda expressions.

Program output.

Lambda expression characteristics:
- The body can be a statement block or an expression
- Uses the operator => which has low priority and is right associative
- May involve implicit inference of parameter types
- Lambda expressions serve as syntactic sugar for a delegate expression
