Im stuck on the final part of the Linq question about how to use the lambda. Can anyone help please?

In the very last set of questions, I don't even know what I'm doing wrong, I've looked at the documentation and I think I'm copying it correctly but it keeps saying I answered wrong on all the questions. I think it might be a syntax error or something

Hi again Steven. Its most of them. I think it was a syntax problem for some, I had OrderBy instead of orderby in the first one

"from b in birds orderby b.Name select b;"

Im working through them one by one looking back over the videos and teacher's notes but I'm still getting stuck.

Like question two;

I've tried

from b in birds orderby b select b.Color select b;

from b in birds orderby b => b.Color select b;

The hint is in the question: "Fill in the blank in the following query to group by bird color."

So the answer is:

from b in birds group b by b.Color select b;

And "from b in birds orderby b group b.Color select b;" for Fill in the blank in the following query to group by bird color. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here!

I can confirm that it is possible to get "correct" on all questions. :white_check_mark:

Which question(s) in particular are you having an issue with, and what answer(s) are you giving for them?
