The sample code for the Working with LINQ tutorial was using an enum-based approach that didn't match what the tutorial teaches. This created confusion for learners who expected to see the string-based code from the tutorial when they referenced the "completed sample."

Problem:

  • Tutorial teaches string-based Suits() and Ranks() methods using yield return statements
  • Sample code used enum-based Suit and Rank types with Enum.GetValues()
  • Output format was different: tutorial shows { Suit = clubs, Rank = two } while sample showed { Suit = Clubs, Rank = Two }

Changes:

  • Replaced enum declarations with string-based iterator methods:
    static IEnumerable<string> Suits()
    {
        yield return "clubs";
        yield return "diamonds";
        yield return "hearts";
        yield return "spades";
    }
  • Updated method signatures to return IEnumerable<string> instead of enum types
  • Simplified Main method to directly use the string-based methods without null checks
  • Removed unused playingcard.cs file that wasn't part of the string-based tutorial approach

The sample code now perfectly matches the tutorial's step-by-step progression, eliminating confusion when learners check the completed sample for reference.

Fixes #28865.
