How to build a dynamic AND OR linq expression tree in a loop

To build a dynamic AND/OR LINQ expression tree in a loop, you can use the System.Linq.Expressions namespace in C#. By dynamically constructing the expression tree, you can create complex conditions with logical operators like AND and OR.

Here's an example that demonstrates how to build a dynamic AND/OR expression tree in a loop:

using System;
using System.Linq.Expressions;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Sample data
        var products = new[]
        {
            new Product { Name = "Product 1", Price = 10, Category = "Category A" },
            new Product { Name = "Product 2", Price = 20, Category = "Category B" },
            new Product { Name = "Product 3", Price = 30, Category = "Category C" },
            new Product { Name = "Product 4", Price = 40, Category = "Category A" },
            new Product { Name = "Product 5", Price = 50, Category = "Category B" }
        };

        // Dynamic filter conditions
        var filterConditions = new[]
        {
            new FilterCondition { PropertyName = "Price", Operator = ComparisonOperator.GreaterThan, Value = 30 },
            new FilterCondition { PropertyName = "Category", Operator = ComparisonOperator.EqualTo, Value = "Category B" }
        };

        // Build the dynamic expression tree
        var parameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof(Product), "p");
        Expression finalExpression = null;

        foreach (var condition in filterConditions)
        {
            var property = Expression.Property(parameter, condition.PropertyName);
            var constant = Expression.Constant(condition.Value);
            Expression comparisonExpression = null;

            switch (condition.Operator)
            {
                case ComparisonOperator.EqualTo:
                    comparisonExpression = Expression.Equal(property, constant);
                    break;
                case ComparisonOperator.GreaterThan:
                    comparisonExpression = Expression.GreaterThan(property, constant);
                    break;
                // Add more comparison operators as needed
            }

            if (finalExpression == null)
            {
                finalExpression = comparisonExpression;
            }
            else
            {
                if (condition.LogicalOperator == LogicalOperator.And)
                {
                    finalExpression = Expression.AndAlso(finalExpression, comparisonExpression);
                }
                else if (condition.LogicalOperator == LogicalOperator.Or)
                {
                    finalExpression = Expression.OrElse(finalExpression, comparisonExpression);
                }
            }
        }

        // Compile the expression tree into a Lambda expression
        var lambdaExpression = Expression.Lambda<Func<Product, bool>>(finalExpression, parameter);
        var compiledExpression = lambdaExpression.Compile();

        // Apply the dynamic filter to the data
        var filteredProducts = products.Where(compiledExpression);

        // Output the filtered results
        foreach (var product in filteredProducts)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Name: {product.Name}, Price: {product.Price}, Category: {product.Category}");
        }
    }
}

class Product
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public decimal Price { get; set; }
    public string Category { get; set; }
}

class FilterCondition
{
    public string PropertyName { get; set; }
    public ComparisonOperator Operator { get; set; }
    public object Value { get; set; }
    public LogicalOperator LogicalOperator { get; set; } = LogicalOperator.And;
}

enum ComparisonOperator
{
    EqualTo,
    GreaterThan,
    // Add more comparison operators as needed
}

enum LogicalOperator
{
    And,
    Or
}

In this example, we have a collection of Product objects and a collection of FilterCondition objects that represent the dynamic filter conditions.
