store a delegate function and present a confirmation to execute the stored action in csharp

In C#, you can store a delegate function using the Delegate class which is a base class for all delegate types. To present a confirmation message before executing the stored action, you can create a new delegate that wraps the original delegate with a lambda expression that first displays a message to the user and then calls the original delegate if the user confirms.

Here's an example:

main.cs
using System;

class Program
{
    delegate void ActionDelegate();

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create a new delegate and store the original action
        ActionDelegate originalAction = new ActionDelegate(DoSomething);

        // Create a new delegate that presents a confirmation message
        ActionDelegate confirmedAction = () =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Are you sure you want to do this? (y/n)");

            if (Console.ReadLine().ToLower() == "y")
            {
                originalAction();
            }
        };

        // Use the confirmed action delegate in place of the original action
        RunAction(confirmedAction);
    }

    static void RunAction(ActionDelegate action)
    {
        action();
    }

    static void DoSomething()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Doing something...");
    }
}

In this example, we define a new delegate type called ActionDelegate that represents a function that takes no arguments and returns no value. We then create a new instance of this delegate type called originalAction that wraps the DoSomething() method.

Next, we create a new delegate instance called confirmedAction using a lambda expression. This delegate presents a confirmation message and then calls the originalAction delegate if the user confirms.

Finally, we pass the confirmedAction delegate to the RunAction() method which executes the wrapped action.
