Pipelining with generic methods
Let's see if we can improve this code by using higher-order functions and generics. Now if you noticed in the prior example, these methods, they all have a similar signature. They take an int as a parameter and they output an int, and they're doing some operations inside the method. So I think I can make a generic version of this like so. It's called PerformOperation. So it's a PerformOperation of T. It's going to be an extension method of the T value. In my first example, it would be an int. And then the second parameter is a func of T. I call that the performer. That's the code that's going to perform the action. I'm also restricting this, so T can only be a struct for this demo. And then I return a T. So that's the basic signature of the prior examples. So now that I've done that, I can go up here and create a lambda variable or I should say a func variable, and use a lambda to set the code and do the same thing on line 18. And now I can say value = 5. And then I can call value…
