LINQ (Language Integrated Query)

LINQ, or Language Integrated Query, is a feature in programming languages like C# that allows developers to write queries directly within their code to access data. It works with various data sources, such as databases, collections, and XML files. By using LINQ, developers can express complex data retrieval in a clear and concise manner, similar to how one might write a SQL query. This integration enhances productivity, readability, and maintainability of code, allowing developers to focus on the logic rather than on the complexities of different data access technologies.
