Fluent syntax 与Query Expression syntax在LINQ中的应用

<摘自c# in a nutshell>

Fluent syntax

       IEnumerable<string> filteredNames = names.Where (n => n.Contains ("a"));

Query exppression syntax

       IEnumerable<string> filteredNames = from n in names
                                                                    where n.Contains ("a")
                                                                    select n;

Contrary to popular belief, query expressions are based not on SQL, but on
list comprehensions from functional programming languages such as LISP and
Haskell.
