Anonymous types allow you to create the intermediate results without writing classes.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string[] names = { "Java", "C#", "Javascript" };
var intermediate = from n in names
select new
{
item1 = n,
item2 = n.Replace("a", "").Replace("e", "").Replace("i", "")
.Replace("o", "").Replace("u", "")
};
IEnumerable query = from item in intermediate
where item.item1.Length > 2
select item.item2;
foreach(string s in query){
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}
The output:
