C# Lambdas Quiz

Welcome to the C# Anonymous Methods, Lambdas, and Local Functions Quiz! This quiz will test your understanding of advanced C# concepts like anonymous methods, lambda expressions, and local functions. These features help you write more concise, flexible, and reusable code. You will explore how each of these techniques works, their differences, and when to use them for optimal efficiency.

What are local functions in C#?

Lambda expressions that return integers.

Functions that must be declared at the start of a program.

Functions that only exist at runtime.

Named methods declared inside other methods.

None

Which of the following is a valid lambda expression that accepts no parameters?

() => &quotHello&quot

(s) => s.ToUpper()

(int a, int b) => a + b

(name) => name.ToLower()

None

Why does Visual Studio often suggest converting lambdas to local functions?

Local functions are more efficient and provide direct access to local variables.

Local functions are faster than lambdas in every scenario.

Lambdas are considered deprecated in modern C#.

Local functions are easier to use with strings.

None

Which of the following situations would benefit most from using a local function instead of a lambda?

When you need to work with large datasets.

When you need access to local variables and plan to use recursion.

When you need to call multiple methods.

When you need a concise one-line expression.

None

What will the following local function return?

double USDToEuro(double dollars) => exchangeRate * dollars;

It will return a string representation of the conversion.

It will return an error because local functions cannot use lambdas.

It will return the product of the exchangeRate and the dollars passed.

It will return the exchange rate itself.

None

Which of the following allows lambdas and local functions to be called recursively?

Only lambdas can be recursive, local functions cannot.

Neither lambdas nor local functions can be recursive.

Local functions and lambdas can both call themselves recursively.

Only local functions can be recursive, lambdas cannot.

None

What advantage do local functions have over lambdas?

They can access only global variables.

They are more efficient since they do not require delegate allocations.

They require fewer lines of code.

They are faster in asynchronous operations.

None

How do you declare a local function that uses the => operator?

You must use a delegate keyword with the => operator.

You declare the local function normally and use the => operator for concise expressions.

Local functions cannot use the => operator.

The => operator can only be used in global functions.

None

Which of the following is a recursive local function?

A local function that calls itself to perform repeated tasks.

A function that always returns a string.

A lambda that returns a method reference.

A local function that takes no parameters.

None

10.

What is one key difference between lambdas and local functions?

Local functions have direct access to variables in the containing method, while lambdas do not.

Lambdas cannot return values, but local functions can.

Lambdas can be called from outside the method, while local functions cannot.

Local functions are always asynchronous, while lambdas are not.

None

11.

How do you declare a local function in C#?

By using the ‘static’ keyword inside the method.

By declaring a method inside another method.

By using the ‘local’ keyword.

By declaring the function at the top of the class.

None

12.

What is one advantage of using local functions?

They can be accessed from outside the class.

They have direct access to local variables within the containing method.

They are automatically asynchronous.

They must return a boolean value.

None

13.

What is an anonymous method in C#?

A method declared inline using the delegate keyword.

A method that only accepts one parameter.

A method that does not accept parameters.

A method that must have a name.

None

14.

How can you create a lambda expression that accepts no parameters?

Use the void keyword before the lambda: void => expression;

Use empty parentheses for the input parameters: () => expression;

You cannot create a lambda expression with no parameters.

Use the ‘params’ keyword before the expression.

None

15.

What will the following lambda expression return?

s => s.ToLower();

It will return the lowercase version of the input string.

It will return the length of the input string.

It will return an error because no return type is specified.

It will return the uppercase version of the input string.

None

16.

What is a key advantage of lambda expressions over anonymous methods?

Lambda expressions provide a more concise syntax.

Lambda expressions are automatically asynchronous.

Lambda expressions can only accept integer parameters.

Lambda expressions cannot return values.

None

17.

How can you pass multiple parameters to a lambda expression?

By using the ‘params’ keyword.

By enclosing the parameters in parentheses.

By listing them after the return type.

By separating them with a colon.

None

18.

What is a statement lambda?

A lambda that cannot return any value.

A lambda that must return a boolean.

A lambda that contains multiple statements in a block.

A lambda that only works with loops.

None

19.

What is an expression lambda?

A lambda where the body contains a single expression.

A lambda that accepts no parameters.

A lambda that only works with arrays.

A lambda that returns multiple values.

None

20.

Which operator is used to define a lambda expression in C#?

None

21.

What is a lambda expression in C#?

A method that must return a string.

A more concise way of writing anonymous methods.

A method that cannot accept parameters.

A delegate that only works with integers.

None

22.

How would you call an anonymous method assigned to a delegate?

By calling the method name directly.

By using the call() function.

By invoking the delegate variable like a method.

By invoking it with a special keyword.

None

23.

What is the key difference between a delegate and an anonymous method?

Delegates are faster than anonymous methods.

An anonymous method does not reference an existing named method.

A delegate cannot store a method reference.

Anonymous methods cannot have return values.

None

24.

Which syntax is used to declare an anonymous method in C#?

delegate (parameters) { //code };

anonymous method() { //code };

lambda => expression;

method (parameters) { //code };

None
