C# Sharp Exercises: Generate a cartesian product of two sets

C# Sharp LINQ : Exercise-23 with Solution

Write a program in C# Sharp to generate a cartesian product of two sets.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
 
class  LinqExercise23
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		char[] charset1 = { 'X', 'Y', 'Z' };
		int[] numset1 = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
	
            Console.Write("\nLINQ : Generate a cartesian product of two sets : "); 
            Console.Write("\n------------------------------------------------\n");		

					var cartesianProduct = from letterList in charset1
											from numberList in numset1
											select new { letterList, numberList };

			Console.Write("The cartesian product are : \n");
				foreach (var productItem in cartesianProduct)
				{
				Console.WriteLine(productItem);
				}
       Console.ReadLine();
	}    
}

OR

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
 
class  LinqExercise23
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var set1 = new string[] {"X", "Y", "Z"};
            var set2 = new int[] {1, 2, 3};
	
            Console.Write("\nLINQ : Generate a cartesian product of two sets : "); 
            Console.Write("\n------------------------------------------------\n");		

    	    var cartesianProduct=
               set1.SelectMany(p=> set2.Select(q=> p+q+' '));


			Console.Write("The cartesian product are : \n");
            foreach (var ProductList in cartesianProduct)
            {
                Console.Write(ProductList);
            }
       Console.ReadLine();
    }    
}

Sample Output:
