This repository contains examples and explanations for utilizing LINQ (Language Integrated Query) in C#.
LINQ offers a unified approach to querying data, allowing developers to use a single, consistent syntax for querying collections, arrays, databases, and more. By integrating query capabilities directly into the C# language, LINQ provides developers with powerful tools for expressing complex queries in a clear and concise manner, with the added benefits of IntelliSense assistance and compile-time type verification.
The examples provided here are based on the concepts discussed in the article "Exploring LINQ in C#: Querying Made Easy", authored by Jepozdemir.
