Language Integrated Query

Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a feature in programming languages like C# that allows developers to write queries directly within their code to manage data, such as from databases, lists, or XML files. It makes data retrieval and manipulation more straightforward, readable, and type-safe because the queries are integrated into the programming language itself. Essentially, LINQ enables combining data querying and programming seamlessly, reducing errors and improving productivity by allowing developers to work with data using familiar language constructs.
