It will print 10 in 10 times in loop. Beacuse delegate is refrence type.

NOTE : To compile this code we need to do some correction in code as below.
Replace - List writers = new List();
TO
List writers = new List();

and

Replace - foreach (var writer in writer)
TO
foreach (var writer in writers)

Exception thrown. The list is “writers”, and in loop it’s “writer”.
