Please observe the code snippet:

Func<String, int, bool> predicate = (str, index) => str.Length == index;

String[] words = { "orange", "apple", "Elephant", "Ant", "star",
"and" };
IEnumerable<String> aWords = words.Where(predicate).Select(str
=> str);

foreach (String word in aWords)
Console.WriteLine(word);

How and where value for parameter index of predicate passed?

Thank you

Regards
Raj

Using the predicate is just as if you put the lambda expression in the
method call:

IEnumerable<String> aWords =
words.Where((str, index) => str.Length == index);

So, it's the Where method that sends the index to the predicate.

(Using .Select(str => str) is pointless, it returns a collection that is
identical to the one you use it on.)
