What is Linq to Objects (LINQ to Lists)

What is Linq to Objects:
 
Linq to objects refer to the use of Linq queries with any IEnumerable or IEnumerable<T> collection directly ,without the use of any intermediate Linq provider or interface

Linq to Objects is more beneficial because of these specific reasons
  1.  They are more concise and readable especially when it is used to filter multiple conditions 
  2.  They  provide powerful filtering, ordering  and grouping capabilities with the use of minimum application code
  3. They can be easily ported to other data sources with little or no modification

LINQ to Lists: In this example we will discuss LINQ queries on Lists, the advantage of linq is we no need to execute/initialize the linq query every time, initialize once and use where ever required. The below example will explain how it will work. 

LINQ Query: Below LINQ query will find the Student  which are having Fee 5000  between 80000 from Student list.
