How to make use of both Take and Skip operator together in LINQ C#?


The Take operator is used to return a given number of elements from an array and the Skip operator skips over a specified number of elements from an array.

Skip, skips elements up to a specified position starting from the first element in a sequence.

Take, takes elements up to a specified position starting from the first element in a sequence.

Example 1

class Program{
   static void Main(string[] args){
      List<int> numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8 };
      System.Console.WriteLine(numbers.Count());
      var skipRes = numbers.Skip(5);
      System.Console.WriteLine(skipRes.Count());
      Console.ReadLine();
   }
}

Output

28
23

Example 2

class Program{
   static void Main(string[] args){
      List<int> numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8 };
      System.Console.WriteLine(numbers.Count());
      var takeRes = numbers.Take(5);
      System.Console.WriteLine(takeRes.Count());
      Console.ReadLine();
   }
}

Output

28
5

Example 3

class Program{
   static void Main(string[] args){
      List<int> numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8 };
      System.Console.WriteLine(numbers.Count());
      var takeSkipRes = numbers.Skip(10).Take(18);
      System.Console.WriteLine(takeSkipRes.Count());
      Console.ReadLine();
   }
}

Output

28
18
