This code example uses an overload of this overloaded method that is different from the specific overload that this topic describes. To extend the example to this topic, change the body of the selector function. |
' Create an array of strings. Dim fruits() As String = {"apple", "banana", "mango", "orange", "passionfruit", "grape"} ' Determine the average length of the strings in the array. Dim avg As Double = fruits.Average(Function(s) s.Length) ' Display the output. MsgBox("The average string length is " & avg) ' This code produces the following output: ' ' The average string length is 6.5
