Typically that means you want to string together a chain of function calls, typically on a single line of code. Now, if you work to C-sharp, in functional programming, we like to avoid statements and we like to have things fit on a single line of code. With the extension methods syntax that's easy to do. So let's see how that works. I start with a list of strings at the top, notice that I have some duplicate strings in here. On line 10, I declare a variable and I call where with the lambda predicated it filters it. But the key thing I want you to see here is that where returns an IEnumerable of T . That means that any of the other methods that work on IEnumerable of T can work with this variable. So that's what I'm doing in the next line of code, I'm taking this pipe 1 calling dot order by on it…
