Initialize multiple instances inline c#

class Program
{
static void Main(string args)
{
List<Person> people = Enumerable.Repeat(new Person(), 3).ToList<Person>();
}
}

class Person
{
public Person()
{
Console.WriteLine("dd");
}
}


Output is a single line of "dd" instead of 3 lines, I don't understand

If you look at the documentation of Enumerable.Repeat method:




Generates a sequence that contains one repeated value.




So it repeats the given value as many times as specified. It doesn't re-create the same value for each repetition. Hence in your example, only one Person instance is created and added to the list three times.



This is the equivalent of your code which might make it more clear:



var person = new Person();
List<Person> people = Enumerable.Repeat(person, 3).ToList<Person>();


If you want to create a different instance each time you can use Select:



Enumerable.Repeat(null, 3).Select(_ => new Person()).ToList();

  • Enumerable.Range(0, 3).Select(_ => ... would make more sense here.
