And that means it's queryable using the extension methods that are part of the enumerable type. So before I show you the query, let's dump out the original values. So here's the original list of values. They're not in alphabetical order. And what I want to do is query this to find only the colors to start with the letter B. So querying like that, that's a filter and filters are implemented in link with the where extension method. So here's the syntax, I call Enumerable.where. The first argument is a type that implements or an instance of a type that implements Enumerable t, so that's my colors. The second argument is a predicate function that is used to determine whether or not the candidate string belongs in the output. So…
