Introduction

The following code is more efficient by using the Take operator instead of relying on the index being passed into the lambda expression.

Demo

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class Program//from   ww  w . ja  v  a2 s.  c  o  m
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string[] codeNames = {"Python", "Java", "Javascript", "Bash", "C++", "Oracle"};
        
        IEnumerable<char> chars = codeNames.Take(5).SelectMany(s => s.ToArray());
        
        foreach (char ch in chars)
            Console.WriteLine(ch);

    }
}

Result

The code above takes only the first five elements from the input sequence.

Then only the first five are passed as the input sequence into SelectMany.
