Well, you could convert the IEnumerable to a List with ToList and call the ForEach method of the List<T> class. Should pretty much equal the foreach loop (as you need to evaluate the query anyways when looping)

I actually thought about a nasty Linq-with-side-effect version with something like
.Select(vowelWord => Console.WriteLine($"\"{vowelWord}\" starts with a vowel"))
but of course you can't, because Console.WriteLine() returns Void. No doubt it would be possible to force something like this, but that'd be silly; it's actually quite neat that C# protects us from such folly. For one thing, it won't evaluate until the IEnumerable is enumerated, so you don't really know when that is just from that line of code.

Marc, you probably know this by now, but let is just syntactic sugar for the Select method.
|
|
|
|

Haha, I have to say I dunno "how to replace let with extension method" so when I want to introduce a variable it's one case where I definitely use linq query syntax over chaining LINQ extension methods....

For a bit of background. LINQ facilitates functors and monads (concepts from functional programming). Simplified: functors are types that 'map' (Select), monads are types that 'bind' (SelectMany).
When you do 'from x in y' you're lifting the value out of the monad (get the value wrapped up *in* the monad), doing an operation on it, and then wrapping it back up in the monad. The monad in this case being IEnumerable/IQueryable.
There are other types, like Option<t>, Either<l,r>, Try<t> - see this library: [language-ext]
'let' is essentially the non-monadic assign, it's essentially exactly the same as declaring a local variable. It doesn't do the lifting, and therefore if you did 'let x = list', then it wouldn't extract the value from the list, it will just assign the list.
It's most useful in query expressions to pre-calculate a value that will be used many times in subsequent parts of the query; but it can very much allow full functional programming within LINQ expressions.

But how many thousands are killed each year by Dupont, Monsanto...but that's OK because it's all in the name of profit and is acceptable collateral damage.

So - taking a lot of anti-diarrhea medication is suddenly news?
Damn it man - don't you know there's been a world-wide cult of such abusers for generations!
They're called "Politicians" and they're obviously full of sh . . .

Politicians can't be overdosing on anti-diarrhea medications. Have you heard what comes out of their mouths? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

And that's why they're always contradicting themselves:
So full of it that it spews out of their mouth for lack of space.

The anti-diarrhoea medication only stops it coming out of the other end. Once it backs up far enough, there's only one exit it can use.

Why "only in America"?

Perhaps since the warning comes from the FDA, the more accurate statement should be "only confirmed in America".
It could very well happen elsewhere, but establishing that is not the FDA's job.

Even though it costs as much as a small car,
it's got this button with an airplane on it and when I press it, I can fly away to a place where nobody can reach me.
I guess that is why its called airplane mode.
I miss the days when these infernal devices didn't exist.

Has it got a mute button as well?

I was getting my hairs cut by this lady who has done this cutting for me for years. We were talking about tech and it's trappings. I said ya know, The horse must have been a real pita it it's last days, and while the car was far superior, certainly comes with a new set of problems not the least of which is who gets shotgun and will it do a burnout.
Onward and upward I suppose.

So you basically enjoy your device because it allows you to switch off all the features your paid an excruciating price for ? That's like buying a ferrari for its door locking mechanism.
