Parallel's foreach method

1. The simple example of Parallel's foreach method:

        public static int ParallelTestMethod1()
        {
            int[] testIntAry = { 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
            int sum = 0;

            Parallel.ForEach(testIntAry,
                () => { return 0; },
                (n, loopState, index1, total) =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, total={1}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, total);
                    total += n;
                    //Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, n={1}, index={2}, total={3}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, n, index, total);
                    Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, n={1}, total={2}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, n, total);
                    return total;
                },
                total => Interlocked.Add(ref sum, total));

            return sum;
        }

Result(It is based on machine. Different machine may have different result): 2 + 5 + 6 +7 + 8 +9 = 37

 

2. Make a  tiny change.

        public static int ParallelTestMethod1()
        {
            int[] testIntAry = { 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
            int sum = 0;

            Parallel.ForEach(testIntAry,
                () => { return 5; },
                (n, loopState, index1, total) =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, total={1}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, total);
                    total += n;
                    //Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, n={1}, index={2}, total={3}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, n, index, total);
                    Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, n={1}, total={2}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, n, total);
                    return total;
                },
                total => Interlocked.Add(ref sum, total));

            return sum;
        }

Result:

Why the result is 47?

I can find the asnswer from MSDN.

3. Make a tiny change again.

        public static int ParallelTestMethod1()
        {
            int[] testIntAry = { 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
            int sum = 0;

            Parallel.ForEach(
                testIntAry,
                () => { return 5; },
                (n, loopState, index, total) =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, total={1}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, total);
                    total += n;
                    Console.WriteLine("Thread={0}, n={1}, index={2}, total={3}", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, n, index, total);
                    return 10;
                },
                total => Interlocked.Add(ref sum, total));

            return sum;
        }

Result:

Why the result is30?

The answer is same as example 2.
