WhatIsHeDoing.Core 8.0.0

WhatIsHeDoing.Core

A library of extensions to core .NET functionality.

👋 Introduction

The core .NET libraries - those that are available on most .NET runtime versions and environments - are very feature-rich. However, there are times when you need a little helper function, and the list of those functions slowly grows. Rather than having disparate collections of them, this project seeks to group them under the WhatIsHeDoing.Core namespace, complete with unit tests in the WhatIsHeDoing.Core.Tests project.

Long

• Length: Determines the length of a positive number.
