Building Query Expressions with Query Operators (Revisited)

To begin, create a new Console Application named LinqUsingEnumerable. The Program class will

define a series of static helper methods (each of which is called within the Main() method) to

illustrate the various manners in which we can build LINQ query expressions. The first method,

QueryStringsWithOperators(), offers the most straightforward way to build a query expression and

is identical to the code seen in the previous LinqOverArray example:

static void QueryStringWithOperators()

{

Console.WriteLine("***** Using Query Operators *****");

string[] currentVideoGames = {"Morrowind", "BioShock",

"Half Life 2: Episode 1", "The Darkness",

"Daxter", "System Shock 2"};
