Pros & cons between LINQ and traditional collection based approaches?

I don't think the linq you wrote would compile, it'd have to be.

In general, your simple one-line for/foreach loop will be faster than using Linq. Also, Linq doesn't always offer significant readability improvements in this case. Here is the general rule I code by.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
