问题:

I have a string like string strn = "abcdefghjiklmnopqrstuvwxyz" and want a dictionary like:

Dictionary<char,int>(){
    {'a',0},
    {'b',1},
    {'c',2},
    ...
}

I've been trying things like

strn.ToDictionary((x,i) => x,(x,i)=>i);

...but I've been getting all sorts of errors about the delegate not taking two arguments, and unspecified arguments, and the like.

What am I doing wrong?

I would prefer hints over the answer so I have a mental trace of what I need to do for next time, but as per the nature of Stackoverflow, an answer is fine as well.

回答1:

Use the .Select operator first:

strn
    .Select((x, i) => new { Item = x, Index = i })
    .ToDictionary(x => x.Item, x => x.Index);

You're assuming there is such an overload. Look at Enumerable.ToDictionary - there's no overload which provides the index. You can fake it though via a call to Select:

var dictionary = text.Select((value, index) => new { value, index })
                     .ToDictionary(pair => pair.value,
                                   pair => pair.index);

You could try something like this:

    string strn = "abcdefghjiklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

Dictionary<char,int> lookup = strn.ToCharArray()
    .Select( ( c, i ) => new KeyValuePair<char,int>( c, i ) )
        .ToDictionary( e => e.Key, e => e.Value );
