Where(FirstName == "Terry")

This filters the authors to only find Terry.

  1. Terry Pratchett

<ol>
  @foreach(var person in persons.Where(p => p.FirstName == "Terry")) {
    <li>@person.FirstName @person.LastName</li>
  }
</ol>

Where(FirstName.Length > 5)

This filters the authors with long first names.

  1. Douglas Adams
  2. George Akerlof
  3. Raphael Müller (not an author)

<ol>
  @foreach(var person in persons.Where(p => p.FirstName.Length > 5)) {
    <li>@person.FirstName @person.LastName</li>
  }
</ol>

Any(FirstName.Length > 5 / 10)

This filters the authors with long first names.

  1. Persons with 5-char names or more: True
  2. Persons with 10-char names or more: False

<ol>
  <li>
    Persons with 5-char names or more: @persons.Any(p => p.FirstName.Length > 5)
  </li>
  <li>
