Can you explain in brief about Aggregate() extension method in LINQ ?

Answer:

public static int display()

        {

            int[] numbersArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

                        

            return numbersArray.Aggregate((x1, x2) => x1 * x2);

        }

output : 120

In the above code, "numbersArray" is an integer array. Here, the first one being the first number or the previous result, and the second one is the second or next number to participate the calculation.

The calculation goes like :-

1 * 1 = 1 (stored in x1)

x1 * 2 = 2 (stored in x1)

x1 * 3 = 6 (stored in x1)

x1 * 4 = 24 (stored in x1)

x1 * 5 = 120 (stored and returned back)
