So far you’ve seen query syntax and two flavors of method syntax.
// Query syntax var longLoudheroes = from h in heroes where h.Length > 6 select h.ToUpper(); // Method syntax - separate statements var longHeroes = heroes.Where(h => h.Length > 6); var longLoudHeroes = longHeroes.Select(h => h.ToUpper()); // Method syntax - chained expressions var longLoudHeroes2 = heroes .Where(h => h.Length > 6) .Select(h => h.ToUpper());
As you get into more advanced LINQ queries and learn new operators, you’ll get a feel for what works best in each situation. For now, we generally follow these rules:
- For single operator queries, use method syntax.
- For everything else, use query syntax.
Instructions
1.
Write a method-syntax query that transforms each element in heroes
to this format:
Introducing...[hero's name]!
2.
Write a query-syntax query that selects elements containing a space and returns the index of the space in each element. For example, instead of "D. Va"
, the result should contain 2
.
3.
Print out all of the elements of both query results to check your work.
