How to iterate over all elements in array(or list) with LINQ?

Question

I am new to LINQ and i want to switch onto it from traditional loops I have an array of GameObjects and I just want to iterate over all of them and set one of their component enabled, and I wanna know if there is 1 line elegant way with LINQ to replace foreach or for loop's version

Sure. Actually linq is all about this. The method you are looking for is ForEach. But you need first to add using System.Linq. Anyway, I recommend you first to read about linq. — Abdullah Dibas, Jul 13 '19 at 16:01
Before using `List.ForEach()`, please take a moment to read through this article from a decade ago, still relevant: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ericlippert/2009/05/18/foreach-vs-foreach/ — Jesse C. Slicer, Jul 13 '19 at 16:02

gameObjects.ToList().ForEach(x => {do Stuff with list});

Some reading on forEach in C# however. Could be interesting: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ericwhite/2009/04/08/why-i-dont-use-the-foreach-extension-method/

so are you suggesting that using linq version of foreach is bad practice? – Chestera Jul 13 '19 at 16:08
