MapReduce / ArrayLinq

LINQ for Delphi (Object Pascal)

TArrayContainer<T> contains methods that use higher-order functions to perform some tasks:

Every, Some, Filter, Map, FlatMap, Reduce, ForEach, Order, FirstOrDefault

(LINQ analogs: All, Any, Where, Select, SelectMany, Aggregate, ForEach, OrderBy, FirstOrDefault)

Usage

myPet := TArrayContainer<TCat>
  .Create([TCat.Create('Tiger', 10, 'black', True),
    TCat.Create('Kitty', 7, 'ginger', True),
    TCat.Create('Simba', 9, 'white', True),
    TCat.Create('Barsik', 6, 'gray', False),
    TCat.Create('Sam', 8, 'white', True),
    TCat.Create('Musya', 5, 'black', True)])
  .Filter(function(const x: TCat): boolean begin exit((x.Weight > 5) and (x.HasTail)); end)
  .Map<string>(function(const x: TCat): string begin exit(x.Name); end)
  .Order()
  .FirstOrDefault(function(const x: string): boolean begin exit(x.StartsWith('S')) end);

Writeln('Your pet is ' + myPet); // Sam

Higher Order Functions

Hi, I would just like to comment another source for if you would like to use other array functions:
