Functional data transformation and pipelines
Functional data transformation and pipelines in C# refer to the practice of using functional programming techniques to transform data through a sequence of operations, creating a concise and declarative flow. Instead of using imperative loops and mutable state to modify data, functional data transformation relies on higher-order functions, Lambda expressions, and LINQ to apply a series of operations to the data without changing its original state.
Functional data transformation involves using pure functions to transform input data into new output data. The transformation functions take the input data and return a new data structure with the desired changes. These functions do not modify the original data; instead, they create new data based on the input.
Here’s an example of functional data transformation in C# using the LINQ Select

methods:
List<int> numbers = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };// Transform...
