There are two types of lambda expression

1. expression lambda
2. statement lambda

I cannot get why people are using single letters. Even reading books that introduce Lambda expressions I’m seeing this.
Really bizarre… Good post.

Nope. Don’t agree. Sorry.

_List.Find(x => x.Id == 1);

That’s freakin’ readable.

Sorry dude but writing readable code has to got everything to do good practice not specificly with lambda expressions. It’s not even worth a post anymore.

I’ll admit I have done the one letter variable in lambda expressions. I don’t know what it is about lambda that makes us forget what we learned about readable code (maybe all the early examples from Microsoft?).

I had a moment where I was trying to present LINQ to developers at my company and I was using a useless single character variable name. They were confused… Luckily, a meeting conflict gave me a chance to give the presentation a second time later. Using a valuable name that second time made a HUGE difference in their understanding of what was happening.

Without being too critical, if developers don’t do that… they are really trying to put a feet inside their mouth.

The only time where it is acceptable to use single letter variable is when you are looping a single “for” loop. As soon as you get something more complex than that… you MUST pick something more descriptive.

Lambdas are no exceptions. No excuses accepted.
