class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string[] names = { "Java", "C#", "Javascript", "SQL", "Oracle", "Python", "C++", "C", "HTML", "CSS" };
IEnumerable<string> query = names.Where(name => name.EndsWith("e"));
foreach (string s in query)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}
The output:

In query syntax:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string[] names = { "Java", "C#", "Javascript", "SQL", "Oracle", "Python", "C++", "C", "HTML", "CSS" };
IEnumerable<string> query = from n in names where n.EndsWith("e") select n;
foreach (string s in query)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}
The output:
Oracle
A where clause can appear more than once in a query:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string[] names = { "Java", "C#", "Javascript", "SQL", "Oracle", "Python", "C++", "C", "HTML", "CSS" };
IEnumerable<string> query =
from n in names
where n.Length > 3
let u = n.ToUpper()
where u.EndsWith("E")
select u;
foreach (string s in query)
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}
The output:
ORACLE
