FirstOrFallback and LastOrFallback #67

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Just ran into a situation where FirstOrFallback would have been nice to have. I 
have a list of ranges specified by an editor of the website. The user enters a 
number on the site and I need to find the correct range. I have no control over 
the editor and the way he defines the ranges so there is a possiblity that 
ranges overlap or that the number entered by the user falls outside the ranges. 
So something like this would do it:

var rangeWithLargestCeiling = ranges.MaxBy(x=>x.Ceiling).Single();

var range = ranges
    .Where(x => IsInRange(number,x))
    .FirstOrFallback(() => rangeWithLargestCeiling);

This will handle both the overlapping issue (where there is more than one range 
where the number is in range) and the fallback.
