Method RightOuterHashJoin

RightOuterHashJoin<TLeft, TRight, TKey>(IEnumerable<TLeft>, IEnumerable<TRight>, Func<TLeft, TKey>, Func<TRight, TKey>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>?)

Performs a right outer join on two heterogeneous sequences.

Declaration

public static IEnumerable<(TLeft? Left, TRight Right)> RightOuterHashJoin<TLeft, TRight, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TLeft> left, IEnumerable<TRight> right, Func<TLeft, TKey> leftKeySelector, Func<TRight, TKey> rightKeySelector, IEqualityComparer<TKey>? comparer = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEnumerable<TLeft>	left	The first sequence.
IEnumerable<TRight>	right	The second sequence.
Func<TLeft, TKey>	leftKeySelector	A function to extract the join key from each element of the first sequence.
Func<TRight, TKey>	rightKeySelector	A function to extract the join key from each element of the second sequence.
IEqualityComparer<TKey>	comparer	An IEqualityComparer<T> to hash and compare keys.

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerable<(TLeft Left, TRight Right)>	A sequence containing values from a right outer join of the two input sequences.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TLeft	The type of elements in the first sequence.
TRight	The type of elements in the second sequence.
TKey	The type of the key returned by the key selector functions.

Remarks

The result of this method is a `right outer`-join. All elements from right are returned, along with any matching elements from left, if any are present. If no values in left match, default is returned for the left element.

This method is implemented using a `hash`-join. The sequence right is cached as an ILookup<TKey, TElement>, and for-each element of left, the lookup is accessed to find any matching elements.

This method uses deferred execution and streams its results.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to execute an right outer hash join of two sequences using RightOuterHashJoin.

var people = new Person[]
{
    new("John Doe", 1),
    new("Jane Doe", 6),
    new("Lucy Ricardo", 4),
    new("Ricky Ricardo", 2),
    new("Fred Mertz", 3),
    new("Ethel Mertz", 5),
};

var pets = new Pet[]
{
    new("Bear", 8),
    new("Polly", 2),
    new("Minnie", 2),
    new("Mittens", 1),
    new("Patches", 1),
    new("Paws", 1),
};

var results = people
    .RightOuterHashJoin(
        pets,
        p => p.PersonId,
        p => p.PersonId);

foreach (var (person, pet) in results)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"({person?.Name ?? "N/A"}, {pet.Name})");
}

// This code produces the following output:
// (John Doe, Mittens)
// (John Doe, Patches)
// (John Doe, Paws)
// (Ricky Ricardo, Polly)
// (Ricky Ricardo, Minnie)
// (N/A, Bear)

record Person(string Name, int PersonId);
record Pet(string Name, int PersonId);

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	left, right, leftKeySelector, or rightKeySelector is null.

RightOuterHashJoin<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult>(IEnumerable<TLeft>, IEnumerable<TRight>, Func<TLeft, TKey>, Func<TRight, TKey>, Func<TRight, TResult>, Func<TLeft, TRight, TResult>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>?)

Performs a right outer join on two heterogeneous sequences.

Declaration

public static IEnumerable<TResult> RightOuterHashJoin<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult>(this IEnumerable<TLeft> left, IEnumerable<TRight> right, Func<TLeft, TKey> leftKeySelector, Func<TRight, TKey> rightKeySelector, Func<TRight, TResult> rightResultSelector, Func<TLeft, TRight, TResult> bothResultSelector, IEqualityComparer<TKey>? comparer = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEnumerable<TLeft>	left	The first sequence.
IEnumerable<TRight>	right	The second sequence.
Func<TLeft, TKey>	leftKeySelector	A function to extract the join key from each element of the first sequence.
Func<TRight, TKey>	rightKeySelector	A function to extract the join key from each element of the second sequence.
Func<TRight, TResult>	rightResultSelector	A function to create a result element from a right value that does not have a matching value in left.
Func<TLeft, TRight, TResult>	bothResultSelector	A function to create a result element from two matching elements.
IEqualityComparer<TKey>	comparer	An IEqualityComparer<T> to hash and compare keys.

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerable<TResult>	A sequence containing values projected from a right outer join of the two input sequences.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TLeft	The type of elements in the first sequence.
TRight	The type of elements in the second sequence.
TKey	The type of the key returned by the key selector functions.
TResult	The type of the result elements.

Remarks

The result of this method is a `left outer`-join. Values are projected using bothResultSelector when matching elements are found in both left and right sequences. Values are projected using rightResultSelector when elements in right do not have a matching element in left.

This method is implemented using a `hash`-join. The sequence right is cached as an ILookup<TKey, TElement>, and for-each element of left, the lookup is accessed to find any matching elements.

This method uses deferred execution and streams its results.

record Person(string Name, int PersonId);
