Returns the number of elements in a sequence. You should not need to dynamically find out what class a static method belongs to, since the context of your code should make it quite obvious. How to mark a method as obsolete or deprecated? In the below example we have used the constructor overloading concept, and we have created an object of child class and after calling the constructor of child class the first line in it is super(10, 20) which says that call the matching constructor from the parent class, if we do not mention that line, by Default visibility corresponds to external linkage in the language. Enumerates and transforms a sequence, and produces an immutable sorted dictionary of its contents by using the specified key and value comparers. object, TypeError is raised. Provides a container for content encoded using multipart/form-data MIME type. Returns the first element of the sequence that satisfies a condition or a default value if no such element is found. Adds a value to the beginning of the sequence. The elements of the stack are enumerated, which does not change the state of the stack. Groups the elements of a sequence according to a specified key selector function and creates a result value from each group and its key. The keys are compared by using a comparer and each group's elements are projected by using a specified function. To yicheng zero-four at gmail dot com: Another, maybe better example where finding out the real class (not the class we are in) in static method should be quite usefull is the Singleton pattern. Sorts the elements of a sequence in ascending order according to a key. In many cases the data that you work with is a collection of objects. Computes the sum of the sequence of nullable Int64 values that are obtained by invoking a transform function on each element of the input sequence.
