what is LINQ?

Question

what is LINQ?

Accepted Answer

LINQ is a query language in .NET that allows developers to query data from different data sources using a unified syntax.

LINQ stands for Language Integrated Query.
It provides a consistent way to query and manipulate data from various sources like databases, XML, and collections.
LINQ uses a set of standard query operators like Where, Select, OrderBy, etc.
It supports both query syntax (similar to SQL) and method syntax (using extension methods).
LINQ queries are strongly typed and checked at compile-time for errors.
Example: var result = from p in products where p.Price > 100 select p.Name;
