Enumerable.Average<TSource> Method (IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, Decimal>)
Computes the average of a sequence of Decimal values that are obtained by invoking a transform function on each element of the input sequence.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
public static decimal Average<TSource>( this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, decimal> selector )
Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
Parameters
- source
- Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource>
A sequence of values that are used to calculate an average.
- selector
- Type: System.Func<TSource, Decimal>
A transform function to apply to each element.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<TSource>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | source or selector is null. |
| InvalidOperationException | source contains no elements. |
| OverflowException | The sum of the elements in the sequence is larger than MaxValue. |
In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Average() clause translates to an invocation of Average.
The following code example demonstrates how to use Average<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource, Int64>) to calculate an average.
